Why are so many HomeSchooling Families
choosing Octorara Ballet School in Gap?

BECAUSE OCTORARA BALLET IS DIFFERENT!

We believe that children's imaginations are one of our most valuable resources.
Our students delight in learning classical ballet including the dances and stories of the
classic ballets. They become physically stronger, they stand taller, they grow in
confidence and they learn discipline. Many parents have said that
"Ballet Day at Octorara Ballet is the best day of their child's week."

Home school parents care deeply about how their children are influenced;
this is why so many home school parents choose Octorara Ballet School.

Directed by home school mom, Gwen Potter, Octorara Ballet offers classes for beginners
through advanced dancers (including pointe). If you long for your children and teens to
be inspired to grow in excellence, we are ready to partner with you!
