OUR PHILOSOPHY: Our approach to dance training is principled and personalized. In addition to classical technique students learn the grace, style, and self-confidence that result from performing to one's personal best.

Thought is given to each child's personality and strengths, individual gifts and sensitivities- drawing out the best in each child. Together, the class builds its own esprit de corps, Pride, energy and companionship shine through. Each group benefits from the closeness they develop and the contribution each dancer makes. Our goal is not only to teach dance, but to touch lives.

Paulette's Ballet Studios have always been a home away from home for hundreds of aspiring dancers. Our warmth, discipline and pure love of the dance continue to inspire young people who live by the motto, "We love to dance!"

"Over the years, dancing at Paulette's has been a safe haven for me from the chaos and pandemonium of everyday life. With moving, changing schools, and shifting of friends, Paulette's has remained a constant in my life over the past 13 years and taught me a great appreciation for movement and a love of dance. This year, I would like to focus on the general essence of grace. I plan to execute this goal through stong work ethic and a positive attitude. Specifically, I plan on gaining more flexibility, enhancing my arch, and strenthening my entire body." ... My Goals by Catie O'Sullivan in response to the question 'What do you want to accomplish this year and what are your personal goals for dancing?'
