Dance Conservatory Pasadena

thank you for the 14 years of support

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that we will be closing Dance Conservatory of
Pasadena on Saturday, September 7, 2024. The pandemic and the rising cost to
operate the studio has made it impossible to properly maintain the studio and to ensure
the high quality of instruction and production of our performances.
We opened DCP 14 years ago with the goal providing outstanding classical ballet
instruction to all students regardless of their goals, whether it be to become a
professional dancer or to simply enjoy dancing. Through our children’s program and
pre-professional program, we had inspired our kids to work hard with passion to achieve
their dreams. Some our students have become professional dancer and performers;
many have gone on to prestigious universities to pursue their dreams with the same
passion they had for dance. We are proud of the work we have done in positively
impacting those in our family and in our community.
I want to thank our instructors and staff for their hard work, and for their devotion to our
aspiring young dancers and to our ardent adults.
For 14 years, we have had the honor of serving our dancing community. We thank our
students, parents, families and friends for being part of the studio. We enjoyed this
incredible adventure. We hope that you will continue to dance. It brings joy to all of us!
