Performing Arts Center Of Connecticut LLC

PACC is an organization which develops young adults in dancing and theater arts with an emphasis in growing up to be productive members of society, appreciating that personal values are just as important as the physical skills required for great performances in any performing art. My wife an I look forward to attending their performances, even though we do not have any children- we are lovers of the arts and this local studio brings New York dance and musical theater to Trumbull. Kudos, PACC!

When my daughter and I attended, on a whim, Performing Arts Center of CT's 1st End of the Year concert at Madison Middle school 5 years ago, little did we know that PACC would become such an integral part of her life. We were blown away by the talent on stage that night, and my daughter has become a part of the PACC "family" in classes and as part of the dance company, In Motion, these past 3 years, (It really is a familial atmosphere, with surrogate mom Cathi LaChioma at the helm!) Not only has my daughter grown as an artist, but real "life lessons" have been learned: mutual respect, integrity, consideration, humility and humanity- dancing not just for yourself or to compete with others, but for the BENEFIT of others- (Special Olympics, Dancers Responding to Aids, Ali's Angels (liver donation), Steven A. Merrihew benefit concert (scholarship to Trumbull HS seniors pursuing fine arts, etc.).

We consider ourselves blessed to have found the Performing Arts Center of CT! Definitely check them out!

Our daughters have been a part of PACCs family for four years. Their experiences in their general classes and as IN MOTION company members, has been exceptional. PACCs teachers are professional and are all credentialed from the most prestegious dance programs in the country. This coupled with the dedication of its director, Catherine La Chioma, solidifies PACC as our home away from home. The La Chiomas provide a large, beautiful, immaculate, comprehensive performing arts center for students of all interest levels; from the recreational dancer to the pre-professional looking to enter the arts as a career. PACC iscomplete with several large dance studios, individual voice and instrument lesson offices, and its own Black Box theater . The philosophy at PACC mimics the values we instill in our home. The students are given exceptional instruction in a nurturing atmosphere where individual differences are fostered and accentuated. The students respect , and are respected by, one another and their teachers. We highly recommend you visit and experience PACC for yourself. You will be impressed.

PACC is the most loving community out there. The truth is that I have my family at home, as well as my family at PACC. Dancing at PACC for a few years, I've seen the best of the best. That is, the best dancers, the best teachers, and the best people. I learned more about technique and performance in my first two weeks at PACC than I had learned in all of my prior dance training. To be completely honest, I don't know what I would do without my education from PACC, as well as the family that I have become a part of.

My SON, who has been dancing at PACC for three years,

has had superior teaching due to a very high standard of training in the classroom. The teachers are very attentive to each student - kind, but firm.

The showcases in the middle and end of the year are

extrodinary. Students are given roles that truly stretch their dancing ability, self confidence, and give them a true example of a professional recital.( As an ex-professional musical theatre singer/dancer, I am thrilled to have found PACC for my son. It has expanded his life so very much!)

I personally do not have a child enrolled at PACC, but I attend their dance functions to see friends perform at special events. PACC never fails to deliver fabulous examples of different dance/musical genres. The quality is amazing! I have been to other performance studio events, but they pale in comparison to the presentations I have seen here. Truly professional; truly enjoyable!

My daughter has been dancing for 10 years. We have tried 3 other schools in the area until we finally found PACC. The instructors are all extremely talented and well trained professionals. Not only is PACC about dance but their is also musical theatre, voice and instrument lessons, adult classes, etc. Visit their website for a much more detailed description of all that PACC has to offer. Most definately a 5 star rating!

I have been dancing at Pacc for about five years now and have been in company for four. also, it is the third dance school I have gone to making it by far the best. i promise that you will have absolutely no regrets about coming to dance wth our family at Pacc!

I've watched my daughter grow up at PACC, both as a dancer and a person. The professionalism of their program can not be touched by other local studios, and the dancers, singers, actors and musicians are treated like they are part of a family. The instruction and support the kids receive is exceptional!
