Description

Specialties

Expert instruction in ballet, jazz, tap, pointe, modern, pre-​ballet, hip-​hop, lyrical for students of all ages and abilities, including programs for adults.

History

Established in 1960.

Paulette Harwood founded her studio in Needham in order to teach ballet to her own three daughters. The studio quickly became an integral part of the community and remained so even after relocating just over the border to Newton. Today, with studios in Newton and Medfield, Paulette and her expert faculty are still teaching and inspiring students in the joy and love of dance.

I started dancing with Paulette when I was 5, and 27 years later I still haven’t left. Paulette teaches kids so much more than ballet and good technique, and the studio really is a home away from home. There’s no better place to learn good posture, self control, get some great exercise, and have fun. I never miss the Monday night adult class with Kelly– a perfect 1.5 hour ballet/​jazz combo for those of us who just want to dance!

Home away from home. Paulette loves all her students, and is loved by all her dancers. Forever a PBS graduate.

My daughter has been dancing at Paulette’s since she was 4 (7 years now!) and it looks like Paulette’s will be her home four days a week until she graduates High School. That fact makes me really happy. Paulette herself is a legend, and her end-​of-​year concerts are something to behold! Girls (and boys) at Paulette’s learn a solid dance foundation, discipline, teamwork, respect and the value of doing your best. What I love is that everyone does their PERSONAL best. This is a place where dancers love to dance, learn to love themselves and to dance with others. Graduating seniors speak every year of the lifelong friendships they will never forget. There is a lot of «competition» out there, but this place is the REAL deal. YOUNG DANCERS — Don’t be intimidated or put off by the name «Ballet studio» even if Ballet is not your end goal, it is the best foundation for well-​rounded dancers. Students at Paulette’s do jazz, tap, hip-​hop, modern and lyrical in addition to ballet.
