Twirl
Description
Twirl was established in 2016 when owner Sam Sinns left his job as a dancer at Walt Disney World to move his family to the Philadelphia suburbs to open his dream dance studio. With a 20-year professional dance career under his belt, Sam brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Twirl, which focuses on training for entertainment dance (dance styles typical to Disney, Broadway, cruise ships, theme parks, etc...).
Twirl reflects the principles that he learned while working as a dancer for The Walt Disney Company. The formula is pretty simple- commit to excellence in all things, teach solid dance technique, lead with creativity, engage in the community, and most of all, provide a happy place where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Twirl for All Kinds of Kids
Along with classes in dance and acrobatics, Twirl also has a popular Down syndrome dance program and summer camps that sell out within hours. And with a dance environment that’s welcoming to boys, Twirl boasts a significant number of male dance students.

We’ve been to other dance studios. Twirl has exceeded all expectations during our first year. My daughter is 7 years old and is in the tap/jazz class. I’m so impressed with how engaged each of the teachers are with the students. The Owner/Director, Sam, is very present and floats around mingling/greeting at pickups and drop-offs. The Friday emails Sam sends usually include something that makes me belly laugh plus some type of student/staff dance story or accolade that just wows me (and then all the info you need each week). The parents are so very friendly and the staff are too, which is refreshing. The creativity behind the mini camps and summer camps is top notch and boiling over with enthusiasm (think, glitz, glam, disco lights, sparkles, confetti, fun, lots of dancing!). We have been enjoying all of it! So happy to be a part of the Twirl Community.

I can’t say enough good things about Twirl. We drive 25 minutes each way on Saturday mornings so my son can take a tap/jazz class here. Mr. Sam (the owner) is incredible: he’s super communicative, thoughtful about each child (their skills and their interests), and an all-around nice guy who clearly loves what he’s doing. He’s built an amazing atmosphere where everyone can feel welcome. I wish Twirl was closer to our house, but I’ll keep driving out there as long as my son will take classes!

My family’s experience with Twirl started with their Summer Camps about 4 years ago. After my son attended a few camps that summer, he was hooked. We signed him up to attend year round and he couldn’t be happier. This year, both of my sons are taking classes and are having a blast. Twirl feels like a wonderful family and we are so glad to be a part of it. Mr. Sam and all of his staff are so welcoming and supportive of all their dancers and families.

We love dancing at Twirl. My son looks forward to dance class each week and has become a much better listener too. We dance every day at home and we love how twirl fosters that love in all. We are so happy to be a part of the twirl community. They offer so many performance opportunities and they are so inclusive and caring. Sam has created such a beautiful and magical studio.

Twirl is a phenomenal dance studio that caters to boys & girls of all dance levels/experience! Offering several different styles of dance for all ages, the emphasis is on performing, not competing, with a focus on serving the community. Performances are top-notch “Disney” inspired, and the summer camps are stellar for both dancers and non-dancers! Each year there are new summer camp themes that reflect current kid-favorite themes with art projects, costumes and mini-performances… they sell out very quickly which is evidence in itself! Twirl knows how to keep kids smiling, even during the tough stages of the pandemic… the happiness at Twirl is truly contagious!

Could not be happier. My daughter comes out of dance class and says that she wishes she could be at dance all day, every day. The devotion that Sam has to this dance studio is apparent in everything he does. Great communication, community involvement, attention to detail, and truly cares about the experience as a whole.
