What Our Families Are Saying
KGSD is everything spoken of and then extra. As a grandparent who drops off and picks up I have personally seen the magic. I watched little girls scream and cry at age 3 turn into the most beautiful young ladies at age 18. They patiently teach class, all while carrying a crying ballerina on their hip, talking softly to her so she can later join the class if even for 5 minutes. God puts angels exactly where you need them. God gave us all a very special dance studio.

"In pre classical ballet class yesterday…. the most beautiful gesture of true love happened. Our young dancer (of a quite a few years now) for the first time reached over and pulled her “helper” Peyton in for the sweetest, most genuine hug ever. This was the first time she let anyone help her besides her grandma or sister! It brought me, and her grandma to happy tears."

"On Friday, my daughter had her first year end dance recital not as a student……but as an intern. As she walked backstage at the university’s center for performing arts, she was greeted with hellos, hugs, and “Brooke you look so pretty!” What a 180 from the way she was treated at the prom.We walked backstage together where I sat quietly and allowed Brooke to do her thing. The girls buzzed around with makeup and costumes when the “pirate sisters” all flew into the room and greeted Brooke. There must have been close to 20 young women in pirate costumes. As I sat there in the corner as they buzzed around Brooke, one of them said……“Let’s all join hands.”There were no other adults in the room. Half of them didn’t even know I was there. There were no adults to impress. Yet, one of them said……“Let’s all join hands in a prayer.” They formed a circle with Brooke and one of the older girls led the group in a prayer.Then they took it further.One said……“Let’s all take a minute and say what it is we are grateful for.” One by one, they shared their feelings. Including Brooke who stated “I am grateful tonight to be here with my friends, and watch you dance.”Tears came to my eyes.These girls.These gorgeous girls.With their beautiful hearts.No adults. No reason. It’s just who they are.When they were done….. I took their group photo. Later, I saw the dance program and read its title.“I am……”Girls you are indeed beautiful. You don’t need to try, because you show your beauty with your actions when no one is looking.Thank you for another wonderful year Miss Karen Gronsky, & Miss Marissa Patynski. You lead by example……and it shows."

Karen Gronsky Community Involvement, and Volunteering
At Karen Gronsky School of Dance, giving back has always been at the heart of what we do. Over the years, we have proudly supported our community through performances, events, and charitable efforts, raising over $125,000 for local charities.
Our dancers regularly attend and perform at local community festivals, visit nursing homes during the holidays, and take part in meaningful events that bring joy to others. We are proud to partner with organizations such as Hope Enterprise of Danville and Unique Movers, while also participating in fundraisers like "Dancing with the Stars" and local events such as the Bloomsburg Fireman’s Carnival.
At KGSD, we believe dance goes beyond the studio. It’s about building compassionate, confident individuals who understand the importance of giving back. We are incredibly proud of our dance families and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our community.
