Welcome to the Joan Harris Centre, the most recognized dance studio in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our school emphasizes on the health and welfare of our dancers, build self esteem and operates with a "family first" philosophy. Our five full-school productions a season, excellent professional staff, large facility and community involvement is why we are regional school with students coming from five different counties of NEPA to train at our studio.
We invite you to explore this site in order to get to know us better and then perhaps give us a call. We can't wait to hear from you. Classes at the Joan Harris Centre are decidedly structured and designed to help each dancer reach his or her maximum potential. Class size is limited to ensure a low student to teacher ratio.
To keep classes consistent and organized, each student is evaluated by one of a select group of instructors and then placed in a class according to several criteria including; age, skill level, training and maturity.The Joan Harris Centre is a performing studio.

Dance is a performing art.
In order to properly develop a dancer, one must also learn to perform.
This is the reason the Joan Harris Centre stages five full-school performances a year.
Each eight-week session the studio produces a lively show that features all the students of the school.
The summer session concludes with a picnic and performance at Knoebels Amusement Resort, October brings our Halloween Spooktacular, and in December our Holiday Extravaganza.
Each spring we stage a full-length ballet and in June all of our dancers appear in our biggest shows of the year at the F.M. Kirby Center.

The past 39 years the Joan Harris Centre has held a family picnic and shows at a local Amusement Park.
We started with Angela Park in Drums, then Rocky Glen in Moosic and now for 32 years in a row we have been down to Knoebels Amusement Resort in Eleysburg.
It is a fun way for the dancers, their families and the studio staff to get together, go on rides, share stories and laugh.
We invite all current and former students to come on down and join us in the fun!
Kirby Kidz is a joint outreach program between the F M Kirby Center for the Performing Arts and the Harris Conservatory for the Arts.

We are extremely proud of our professional staff of instructors and support staff.
Each one has been carefully selected for the role they play at the studio and they carry out duties in the most effective and sincere way.
This expertly trained team takes great care to not only make sure that the student is receiving the best education possible, but also serve as role models for the children.
We encourage you to take some time and read about who they are and what they have accomplished.
