Sound Space Performing Arts

Founded in 2015, Sound Space Performing Arts is an urban dance studio for all ages and all levels. Our educational mission is grounded in a deep understanding of music and rhythm, driven by a knowledge of world dance traditions and American history, and committed to growing and encouraging the next generation of dance artists. We have the only youth percussive dance conservatory program on the East Coast.

Our children’s dance program offers a variety of training tracks from primary, development, pre-professional and conservatory levels to inspire and challenge each one of our dancers. We teach performance to our dancers as a valuable and necessary skill that is practiced through two stage performances a year and invited opportunities around Philadelphia.

Our adult classes and workshops are the epicenter of percussive dance in Philadelphia. We train students at and towards a professional level. We are committed to the cultivation of individual artists and helping them find their voices through percussive dance. We encourage students to engage in the study of their craft with focus, joy and rigor.

Our 4,000 square foot studio home is located at 2511 West Girard Avenue, 2nd Floor in Brewerytown, Philadelphia and is founded by Pamela Hetherington. Please drop an email to pam@soundspacephilly.net for more information about any of our youth, adult or sliding-scale community outreach programs.
