Art Beat Studio

With Frozen auditions beginning, students may want to prepare their vocal cords to belt out ‘Let It Go!’ Art Beat Studio is a space where students can learn to be a triple threat in music, dance, and acting. Theresa Smith, owner of Art Beat Studio and voice teacher, shares her journey from working out of her home in 2009 to having her own building on Main Street today.

“My friend and I would always joke about having a shared art space. We started getting serious about it in 2019 and found the studio in 2020. Due to the pandemic and familial duties, my partner left the studio. It’s nice to finally have a space close to the kids I work with,” Smith stated.

Retrowave Arcade/Classic Wave Junkie

Classic Game Junkie buys, sells, trades, and repairs all retro and new video game systems and consoles. Retroware Games is filled with a variety of arcade games.

When asked to describe his arcade and gaming store, owner Francis Stanchek Jr. stated, “We are a video game store which deals with both new and retro stuff and we also repair games, controllers,

accessories and we also have the full arcade with over 40 cabinets.” Typically when people think of Main Street, they don’t think of the entertainment piece of it. “We want to be a central entertainment in Lansdale; there are tons of places to eat and drink, but there

are not a lot of activities and things for people to do yet; we want to give people something to do when they come into Lansdale for the night,” Stancheck explained.

You can buy an all-day pass for only $15. They are located at 309-311 W. Main Street, Lansdale, PA 19446. If you have any questions or want to chat with them, you can contact them at (267)-263-2616,[email protected], and follow them on Instagram @retrowarearcade
