About Us

Performance Studio SunDance is a children’s dance studio founded in 2005 by

Executive Director Irina Pavlova, a professional choreographer who majored in

dance and choreography at the Institute of Culture in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Studio SunDance students range in age from just 3 years to 18 years old, and they

and their families share a passion for dance and performance. Each dance is

created, choreographed and taught by Irina Pavlova, incorporating elements of

Folk, Latin-American, European, Modern, and Ballet dance techniques. Twice a

year SunDance students perform at a stage in the Boston area, each performance

telling a story with dance, captivating choreography and bright costumes, and

creating an unforgettable experience that delights young viewers and adults alike.

Performance Studio SunDance provides professional dance instruction and instills

an appreciation for the art of dance in a safe, positive yet disciplined

environment. Our mission is to inspire, motivate, and share talents at all levels

without judgment.

We promote our dancers with all the necessary resources to be their personal

best and encourage young people to develop a positive self-image as they

increase awareness of their physical being. Along with improving coordination

skills and developing muscular awareness, our dance classes inspire children with

the freedom to express themselves through movement in a friendly, family-

oriented atmosphere that allows the formation of lifelong friendships and an

experience of joy, happiness and FUN!
