The Repertory Dance Theatre provides students with the opportunity to perform the skills they have acquired in training for ballet. The theatre hosts both dance training and annual performance opportunities like the "Nutcracker," a spring ballet and numerous community based performances. Started in 1987 by Dolly Haltzman, the non-profit also provides free dance training to those less advantaged youths in the Lehigh Valley area. The facility is housed in the Dolly Haltzman Dance Academy. With more than 40 years of experience, the Dolly Haltzman Dance Academy has trained dancers who have gone on to perform on the national stage.
