Welcome to Budzynski Studios and to our 7000 square foot "State of the Art" facility, designed by Marilyn Budzynski in 2001. Budzynski Studios, through its excellent reputation and outstanding accomplishments, now serves as one of the major performing arts centers in Pennsylvania and Bucks County.

The mission of Budzynski Studios is to provide the highest caliber of training possible, to all students, ages 3 and up, at all levels, from the beginning student to the professional, while developing confidence and self esteem in a caring, supportive environment.

Marilyn Budzynski began her studies with the Mobile Civic Ballet and was later accepted on full scholarship to North Carolina School of the Arts, where she studied for four years. After dancing professionally with Pennsylvania Ballet and in NYC, and touring throughout the U.S., in 1974 she founded Budzynski Studios of Ballet and is also Artistic Director and founder of Dance Theatre of Pennsylvania, a non-profit ballet company well known for its acclaimed productions such as The Nutcracker.

In 2001, Marilyn Budzynski received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" presented by the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of Dance Theatre of Pennsylvania, for outstanding contributions to the arts.
Budzynski Studios of Ballet is one of the most highly staffed schools on the East Coast. In addition to training for pre-professional levels, we also specialize in training children ages 4 and up. Children are nurtured and encouraged from early beginnings through advanced levels by professional and caring faculty.BSB alumni are former or current professionals with such companies as Boston, Colorado, Utah, Pacific Northwest, Nashville, Richmond, Milwaukee, and Pennsylvania Ballet, many receiving training in such prestigious schools at NCSA, SAB, Joffrey, Kirov, San Francisco, and Carlisle programs.

 


Budzynski Studios is the official ballet school of Dance Theatre of Pennsylvania and Festival Dance International. Students are offered performing opportunities with Dance Theatre of Pennsylvania's Nutcracker and community appearances with Festival Dance International.
