At P.D.A., our mission is to help all our students grow and mature into confident, capable young adults; whether they take one class for fun and physical well-being or take many classes to achieve peak performance level. We believe the discipline and character development that go along with quality dance instruction will be a benefit wherever life may take them. The ability to understand and apply constructive criticism, value hard-earned praise, and to strive every day to be better than they were yesterday will help them succeed in all areas of life. We encourage independence, creativity, and communication. We like to hear directly from each and every student about their goals, passions, and concerns regarding their classroom and performance experience. By fostering individual communication and success we also ensure the success of the group and the studio as a whole.
