Experienced tutor in Dance in Penn Wynne, Joy offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Joy is a wonderful instructor and a gifted choreographer. She challenges her students while still recognizing each person’s individual experience level and needs. She is empathic and energetic and fun to follow. She has wonderful tips for maintaining form in the medium.

- She is great at balancing multiple levels in a class and making adjustments for anyone who needs an easier or more challenging combination.
- The combinations are so creative! I had taken several ballet classes in the past, and many of them became predictable. Joy always keeps it fresh.
- The ability to take class over Zoom is a great opportunity for me - it allows flexibility and safety. Joy is able to give great corrections and explanations even though we are not in-person.

Joy Friedlander is an excellent teacher. She has an amazing background in the field of dance and dance medicine. I have been taking her virtual ballet the last month and have noticed how her corrections have not only helped my ballet technique, but also in my everyday movements. I have better balance, and coordination which is very helpful when you are 79 years old. She is very patient and gives a ballet barre that is not too complicated, so that you feel successful and can have fun doing the movements. Her classes can be adapted to almost any level, since she suggests how to make it easier or more difficult depending upon the students level.

I totally recommend her classes,

I've had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Friedlander for the past 4-5 years, both in person and virtually! She's helped me grow so much and I love our classes together. Dr. Friedlander is both an incredible dancer and teachers. She understands the anatomy of the human body very well and is committed to the pedagogy of dance education. Joy also lives true to her name - she is a beacon of light and a wonderful person.

She’s very thorough, knowledgeable, and the perfect balance between critic and encouragement!

Joy is a great teacher! She has a wealth of experience that she happily shares with her students. She tailors her classes to best fit each student. Her classes have a great flow within each session and a nice progression over time too!
