Pacific Dance Presents
Celebration 2023
We have so much to Celebrate this year!
In addition to the great weekly training our dancers have enjoyed, we have lots of opportunities with fun Master Classes, Acro Workshops, Ballet Intensives and Summer Workshops.
The PD Competition Groups and PD Elite Company have earned several high score and overall wins and we are so proud of them as they compete this summer at Nationals.
A special Thank You!! goes out to all our families that have trusted us with your dancer’s training. We also want to welcome all our new families. From our tiniest dancers and beginners to our beautiful seniors. We look forward to continuing lasting friendships, performances and our community here at Pacific Dance.
Please sit back and enjoy the performance. Your dancers have worked hard and are excited to perform for you this evening.
With Love,
Lori Murphy
Director/Pacific Dance
