About Fairgrieve School of Dance

Fairgrieve School of Dance, nestled in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, has been a vibrant hub for dance education and artistic expression since its founding in 1919. Now in its third generation of ownership under Jennifer McGrath, the studio cultivates a high-quality, family-friendly atmosphere that celebrates the social, artistic, and active benefits of dance for over a century. With a commitment to dance as an art form, Fairgrieve offers a diverse curriculum for ages three to adult, from beginner to advanced levels. Classes encompass Acrobatics, Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, Modern, Pointe, Tap, Classical Ballet Variations, and more. Young dancers can explore foundational skills through a dedicated preschool program including "Me and My Shadow," Introductory Ballet, Tap, and Acrobatics. Adult students also have access to specialized Tap, Ballet, Hip Hop, and Jazz classes. The studio prides itself on fostering lifelong benefits such as flexibility, strength, musicality, and self-confidence in a non-competitive performance environment. Students gain invaluable performance experience through an annual recital, community events, and exciting opportunities like appearances at Idlewild Park and Walt Disney World. Fairgrieve further enriches its program by hosting master classes with professional artists and engaging in Pittsburgh's cultural district events. The dedicated and talented staff, including Jenny McGrath, "Tall Miss Erin," "Little Miss Erin" (The Erins), Miss Mary, Miss Lindsay, and Mr. Dennis, bring joy, sound technique, and creative artistry to every class, cultivating a unique studio where dancers grow as individuals and artists. Parents are warmly invited to observe classes, fostering a shared experience and the enduring spirit of dance.
