At PMT Dance Studio, director, Guinness Book World Record Holder, and Clio Award Winner Pavan M. Thimmaiah along with the studio’s group of instructors teach children and adults of all skill levels different types of dance in small group classes. The students learn not only dancing fundamentals and new moves, but also self-discipline and professionalism. The smaller class sizes afford instructors the opportunity to work one-on-one with the students to teach them these skills.

Step Up 2 dancer Cricket teaches students House, a footwork-based street dance that features rhythmic upper-body movements. Lara Duncan teaches jazz with a sassy twist, and has, herself, performed on The Today Show. High-energy hip-hop classes are also offered by Sarah Burke, who employs her own fresh approach to the style.

After classes, dancers can show off their skills for friends, family members, and agents disguised as smiling grandmothers during student showcases and the Urban Renewal freestyle battle. Instructors also lead a performance workshop program and the nationally reviewed PMT Seasonal Showcase Company, which performs dozens of shows each year.
