Turner, a life-long Newtown Square resident, opened From the Top back in 2004 in a modest basement retail space. Her vision was to build a loving, supportive and inspiring studio where dancers of all ages and abilities felt comfortable and encouraged. “I wanted dancers to grow in a studio that was just like the one I danced with when I was young.” she says. Turner studied dance with Linda Johnston, a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette. She eventually began teaching for Linda and was awarded numerous regional dance and choreography awards. “Linda Johnston’s Studio was a safe place for us all to dance. She taught us with love and encouragement and it made a lasting impression on me and so many others.”

Miss Sheila's dream has certainly become reality as she walks into her upgraded location with 3 bustling studio spaces. The walls are filled with inspirational messages and pictures of her smiling dancers and Broadway Performers who've taught master classes at From the Top. It's a busy morning. Miss Sheila's on her way in to teach her special needs dance class which, has become so popular, that she now works with 5 area special needs agencies. Dance Camp is in progress, too – boys and girls are busy making crafts, learning dances and playing games. The start of the fall registration is underway and enrollment is strong. A real-life dream come true topped off with a real-big win! Cheers to 15 Years!
