Performane Dance Centre

Performance Dance Center (PDC) is a dance and aerial arts school at 4187 Milgen Road, Unit 3, Columbus, Georgia, owned and directed by Carrie Paris. The class program covers Ballet and Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Pre-Dance combination classes for the youngest students, an Acrobatic Arts tumbling program that layers tricks by level, and Aerial Arts on silks. Adult classes are also offered. Pre-Dance focuses on directional concepts, spatial and body awareness and creativity, while the acro and aerial tracks build strength and flexibility alongside dance technique. The studio fields a competition team, and students and parents describe a supportive, family-style environment with instructors who work with families on make-up classes. PDC stages an end-of-year show, having presented paired productions titled In My Dance Era and In My Aerial Era, and runs summer camps and classes for all ages and levels.
