What Our Clients Are Saying

"Orlandi Dance Center is a brilliant dance studio, situated in the heart of Havertown. My daughter has been dancing at this studio since she has been 3yrs old. She is now sixteen. She has mastered many forms of dance because of the great teachers at Orlandi. This school is warm and  inviting with a great family atmosphere. Their teachers are very well qualified and make dancing fun! I would highly recommend checking this gem of a school out. You will be pleasantly surprised, Their recital at the end of the year is spectacular!"

"I grew up attending Orlandi Dance Center and now my daughter is growing up at Orlandi.  It fills me with joy to see my daughter learning dance and developing friendships that will last her a lifetime, just as I did.  The friends I made dancing at Orlandi are the same friends I have today and all of our daughters dance together at Orlandi.  It is a "family" atmosphere with no pressure.  The kids receive quality dance instruction and have fun.  As a mother, you couldn't ask for more."
