Acclaimed as one of the best dance schools in Bergen County, Miss Patti’s School of Dance has limited class sizes taught by a professional staff in spacious studios. Students learn to develop poise, confidence, social skills, self-esteem in a fun-filled, non-competitive and nurturing environment. “Summer Dance Camps” are offered to children ages 4 through teens. Classes are offered in weekly sessions from July 9 - 13 and July 16 - 20 for 4, 5 and 6 year olds, as well as 7 and 8’s. Older children ages 9 to 17 with prior dance experience will discover the perfect way to improve their technique and strengthen their performance skills in the Pre-Teen and Teen Dance Camp. Classes are offered in two week sessions from July 23 - August 3. The camp culminates on Friday, August 3 with a fabulous NYC day trip that includes dance classes, lunch and Broadway shows. Miss Patti’s School of Dance is under the direction of Patti Vigon, who has danced in the original companies of several Broadway shows, with the Ruth Page Ballet Company and in TV and movies, as well as having taught dance to children and adults for more than 25 years. Registration begins April 16th for the next dance school year. In addition, more than 100 of Miss Patti’s students participate with the internationally acclaimed Donetsk Ballet (Ukraine) in an annual fundraising production of The Nutcracker, sponsored by JULIEDANCE. JULIEDANCE is a non-profit organization promoting the arts as a fund-raiser for pediatric cancer research and care. JULIEDANCE was founded by Patti and her husband Darryl, in memory of their daughter Julie, a very talented young ballerina who died of Ewing Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
