Welcome to the New Pasadena Dance Center home of Le Studio Ballet/Studio 57 Dance. Pasadena's premier dance education center offering a full range of dance classes — ballet, modern, tap, jazz, contemporary, lyrical jazz, hip-hop, ballroom, and musical theater — for dancers of all ages from 3 years to adults. The central philosophy of PDC is to demand the best of each student, whether or not he or she plans to dance professionally. As its miission, PDC concentrates on the appreciation of dance as an art form taught in a positive and structured environment. Although education and development of mental and physical coordination are the uppermost concerns of our program, students with the proper amount of training, talent and desire will be encouraged to pursue professional careers in dance and related fields. Our Dance Companies:  The performing companys in ballet, jazz and contemporary dance forms offer students the chance to work with many professional choreographers and dancers, both in the classroom and on the stage. Preforming companies include competition teams,ballet company, jazz company with opportunities to dance in local and distant community functions. An annual highlight is a family-friendly production of The Story of the Nutcracker in December of each year and an annual spring recital in May. This year will see the advent of more creative dance shows combining local guest dancers, PDC dancers and company and competition team members.
