In 2020 Ms. Valerie and her family (Sidney, Maddie, age 15 and Reece, age 10) moved to Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Since her arrival in PA she has been heavily involved with SALT Performing Arts teaching dance and doing choreography for various productions, while also running her studio back in Wisconsin.
She knew she wanted to bring the magic and joy that Petite Pas Ballet has brought to students in Wisconsin for over 8 years to her new community. She is most grateful to SALT Performing Arts for providing a space for her to take “petite pas” (tiny steps) towards her dream of opening her own location in the area (hopefully) in the very near future. In February 2022, we offered a few classes and they quickly filled up with amazing little students. We were thrilled to take our first twirls in West Chester with such amazing ballet students (and their families)!
We look forward to our first full Academic Year here in PA - and ending it with a magical end of year celebration known as our "End of Year Showcase" where our students perform on stage for their loving audience.

Summer Programs
Our week-long morning ballet camps are a most cherished summer offering as our campers are treated to a week of ballet dancing, crafts and endless creative joy. Each camp week will boast a different storybook ballet theme and their day includes a full dance class, a daily craft (to tie in the theme, of course) and endless creative joy! We keep our camps small so that our students get our full and undivided attention so space is limited. On the final day of camp our students will showcase a short choreography number for their families!
Our camps are designed for littles as young as 3 (by 7/1/2023 and must be potty trained) to as old as 6. Now, if you have littles who are older than 6 and love storybook ballet themes, crafting and dancing - sign them up - we make it exciting for all ages.
We have 3 week-long camps to offer this summer! You can sign up for 1 or as many as you wish.
Tuition cost is $185 per camp which includes tuition and material costs for daily crafts.
Week long ballet camps
Our summer mini-dance session will offer one weekly class for 4 consecutive weeks. In that time students will take a traditionally structured ballet class with a wonderful summer storybook ballet theme. We have two divisions to offer. Our Toddler Division is a parent & me participation class and is for students as young as 18 months (as of 7/1/2023) - 3 years of age. Our Preschool Division is an independent class for potty-trained students as young as 3 years (as of 7/1/2023) - 5 years of age. Tuition cost is $75 per student for the full 4-week mini-dance session.

We are excited to add some additional technique workshops to summer offerings for students who are 10 and older.
Ballet & Tap Workshop | Ages 10+
July 10 - 14th | 12 - 3pm | Cost $255
For this 3 hour dance workshop, our students will be immersed in a ballet technique and tap foundations/skills workshop.
For the first half of their day the students will be training in the art of ballet. The students will gain and enhance an understanding of their body as an instrument through developed body alignment, coordination, and proper execution of ballet foundation steps. This will be accomplished by a barre routine, centre work and more. The ballet training that we will offer will provide a platform where students can focus on connecting their mind to their body and to become aware of the various techniques needed to be a stronger dancer in all fields of dance.
For the second half of their day the students will then explore the art of tap! This will be a multi-level approach (beginners to more intermediate) where students will learn or hone-in on rhythm tap technique, develop their sense of time, coordination and muscle skills. We will focus on musical theater style of tap, learning many exercises as well as a combination to a famous Broadway tap song.
