Dance Industry Performing Arts Center

Dance Industry Performing Arts Center opened in Plano, Texas in 2000 and is now in its 26th year, operating from 6614 Communications Parkway with a training facility that includes a 125-seat black box theatre. Programs are tiered: the recreational Discovery Program starts at age 2 and introduces young dancers to a range of styles; above it sit the Performing Company, The Industry Crew, DI All Star, Jack's Crew and The Ballet Conservatory. The studio is Acrobatic Arts certified and runs multiple levels of acro alongside ballet. New weekly college and pro dance-team prep classes are taught by Erica Wilkins for high schoolers and dancers 17 and over. Every Discovery class performs in the End of the Year Revue each May, and the studio runs themed summer camps in June and July, bi-annual parent observation weeks, a Bring-A-Friend week, birthday parties and studio rental. Its Performing Company was named Outstanding Studio at NYCDA Phoenix Nationals in 2022. Trial classes can be booked online.
