About The Katie Benson School of Dance

The Katie Benson School of Dance, nestled in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, carries on a rich legacy as the area's oldest dance establishment, founded in 1958 by Betty Keller. Originally focused on ballet, the school has evolved significantly, with Judy Hakes expanding the curriculum to include tap and "many other styles of dance." Since 2010, Miss Katie Benson, a certified teaching member of Dance Masters of America, has led the school with passion, continuing its tradition of excellence. Our professional and dedicated staff are committed to teaching the art of dance to thousands of students across generations. Instructors like Toni Troxell bring popular and engaging dance fitness programs such as Zumba, demonstrating a commitment to accessible and energetic movement for all. The school offers a vibrant array of programs, including exciting summer camps in 2025. These include a 'Tiny Dancers' camp (ages 2-4), a 'Mid-Summer' camp (ages 5-8), a 'Girl Power' camp (grades 3-6), specialized 'Tap' and 'Acro' camps, and a 'glow in the dark dance party' for kindergarten through 5th grade. Registration for the upcoming Fall 2025/2026 season and Summer Camps 2025 is available. We are located at 354 Broad Street, Montoursville, PA.
