Pennsylvania is a big state. For the biggest names in ballet training in the state, there's the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School on the west end

the Rock School in Philadelphia on the east end

and the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet in the middle

None of which will do you much good if you're not within driving distance. You can use this list to help you find a school near you:

And I would also recommend posting a request on "Ballet Talk for Dancers" for the best ballet schools in your specific area.

Finally, if you're ready to start pointe, then simply take pointe classes with a whole class. Taking "some private lessons" isn't going to do you much good. Personally, I'd say you should simply switch studios since your school doesn't offer pointe, but if you're just interested in studying dance recreationally, it doesn't really matter where you go.
