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!
