Rhythm & Sole Dance Center

Welcome to Rhythm & Sole Dance Center, where our mission is to bring the joy of dance, tumbling, and fitness to everyone. We believe in providing quality instruction in a fun, safe, and supportive atmosphere. Our studio has been in business for 11 years, and our owner, Patricia, set out to create a fun and safe space that families could trust and provide a positive outlet for children, teens, and adults. The studio has become a place for new and old friends to meet and families to converse. You can see the love of community in our studio and the love of the arts. It is our continued hope that when a student walks into our studio, they feel loved, understood, and always supported.

Why Choose Us? We offer compassionate and certified faculty, class sizes remain small (max 10), and we utilize age-appropriate music, choreography, and costuming. Our studio provides individual attention, and we have mandated reporters and CPR/First Aid certified staff. We are a non-competitive studio, which means every student is encouraged to progress at their own pace without the pressure of competition.

Our Facilities Our studio is located on Main Street in Slatington, PA. The studio is an open floor concept that allows parents to view their child during class without windows or walls. Our studio floor is a Marley Sprung Floor to help students avoid joint pain and injury. The studio is equipped with full-length mirrors, portable barres, tumble mats, wedge, and props used for movement. We pride ourselves on being small so students can get the full attention they deserve in class.
