Dance Centre of Westchester, located at 72 Memorial Plaza, has been located behind the Pleasantville Post Office since 2000. Directors Lynne Ciocca and Susan Czechel offer an extensive schedule of classes in creative movement, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, tap and modern dance, and each class is specifically targeted to an age and skill level, starting with preschoolers and going up to teens and adults. There are three studios, all with viewing windows.
The school's "focus is on technique and dance as an art form," according to Ciocca. Dance Centre of Westchester also offers a noncompetitive teen company as well as a summer day camp program.
There is plenty of free parking and easy drop-off for children.
