About MONTEREY COUNTY DANCE THEATRE
Monterey County Dance Theatre (MCDT) was originally the Pauline Hall Dance Studio founded by the late Pauline Hall in 1958. The Studio emerged from the efforts of a young married woman with three children determined to enrich their lives with the arts. Pauline played piano, violin, cello, banjo, and guitar, had a gifted voice, wrote and composed music, and studied classical and theatrical dance, especially tap.The early students included the neighborhood children who took classes, first in her house with her three daughters (JeNell, Jan, and Paula), then, outgrowing her house, Pauline began teaching at the El Camino Hotel Grand Ballroom and St Mark's Episcopal Church Parish Hall. Finally, she found a permanent home with adequate space at 228 Broadway, King City. As the technical level of the students grew along with her studio, at its peak between 1970 and 1980 she had satellite studios in Soledad and Greenfield with over 250 students dancing.
