Testimonials

"My 9 year-old daughter had never taken dance class, but asked me several times in recent months to study contemporary dance. When I asked my neighbor - a veteran of the Philadelphia dance community - about good places to learn, she immediately mentioned Silvana as a marvelous person, and a beautiful teacher ... who hires very smart and lovely Creative Teachers.' After her first lesson, my daughter was hooked, and now won't walk across the living room but rather flows, spins and rolls in such a confident and graceful way that it is clear she is learning a lot and having fun. Silvana, Paula and Megan have given her an amazing introduction to the art, and I am excited to see her grow as a dancer."
"Hello all ! I took my son to the creative dance for 3-5 year olds at the Cardell Dance studio located in Melon Street. The space is open and a nice large area for the kiddos to run around. It was a lot of fun and the teacher was amazing. The owner is so sweet and dedicated. I’m not sure word has gotten out, but looking for others to join. The class is at 11:45 in Sunday’s. Please sign up on website or let me know if interested."

I recommend her modern technique to all who are seeking transcendence, strengthening and lengthening. With Silvana I was able to discover and explore beyond."
