About Us

Since 2003 Penny Lane Dance Academy's classes have been known for being magical and inspirational in the world of dance. With a British Co-owner, the studio has a bright European feel and manages to make each family feel welcomed. It has been said that you can actually recognize a Penny Lane student walk down the street, they are different! They have a spring in their step and a spirit that touches others.

Miss Andi, the creator, built her first Penny Lane in LA where the Sherman Oaks location is home to over 500 students a week, some of them being Hollywood‟s elite. She is delighted to have partnered with Miss Sue, co- owner, to bring the second location to Westchester County. Sue saw the LA studio in action and immediately began a plan to bring the magic to Granite Springs.

Miss Sue‟s background lends itself to a business with children. It‟s a perfect fit! She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master‟s Degree in Education. Sue‟s passion for children led her into a career that focused on children‟s well being. She has worked with children her whole adult life in every capacity from foster child groups to being a teacher herself. As an active member of her community and a major organizer at her children‟s school, mother of three and aunt to 24 children, Sue couldn‟t be happier to be a part of Penny Lane. Her attention to detail, and absolute understanding of parents needs, compliment and work well with the spirit of Penny Lane Dance Academy. Miss Sue and Miss Andi have known each other for over a decade and are a powerful and positive team. They are ready to welcome you and your child to Penny Lane.

We believe in quality classes taught in a very friendly and fun way. We use a British Ballet curriculum designed by the owner Miss Andi. The ballet curriculum is influenced by The Imperial Society For Teachers Of Dance (I.S.T.D) Our classes start for ages 16 months and continue through to age sixteen years.

Our classes are designed to enhance your child's creativity, self-esteem, and are a perfect balance of education and fun.

For over six years, Children's Hospital LA, recognized and adopted the Penny Lane Enrichment Curriculum for its Early Child Development Center.

This has all been accomplished by a strong team of caring and dedicated dance educator's. Teachers are hand -picked by the owner Miss Andi and trained in the Academy's style and curriculum before going on the dance floor. Each teacher is chosen for their ability to both connect with children and for their professional dance background. All of our teachers are professional performers and in addition have a degree in dance/ theatre and or child development.
