Hey Prestige families, with the holidays coming to a close, we are ALREADY thinking about 2020 over here. With the new decade just around the corner, we think we are most excited about seeing our Prestige Performance Dance Teams perform their BRAND NEW dances. January means competition and performance season is officially in full swing!

So today on the blog, we are ringing in the new year by sharing a little more about these hard-working and dedicated teams. They are going to ROCK their performances in 2020. Be sure to scroll down for links to our fabulous team photo galleries, where you can see each young dancer in action.

P.Co

P.Co is Prestige Dance Studio’s all-genre competition team. The P.Co dancers attend four regional dance competitions as well as one national competition. At these fast-paced and glamour-filled competitions, our dancers perform their routines for judges and compete against other studios for prizes and trophies.

Competing in all styles of dance, P.Co is a group of well-rounded dancers who can adapt to many different styles and techniques. As they perfect their routines week after week, they learn teamwork, responsibility, and commitment. In addition to the competitions, they attend dance conventions where they learn from world-renowned teachers alongside students from all over the nation.

P.Com

We know the fast-paced competition atmosphere isn’t for everyone, and performing is about SO much more than just winning trophies. That’s why we created P.Com, our studio’s community expo team. Dancers perform four to six times per year throughout the community with both jazz and hip hop routines. 

Discipline, teamwork, and showmanship are all values that we strive to teach our P.Com dancers. We focus on the joy of performance and the amazing feeling you get when you share your love of dance with an audience. This team proudly represents Prestige Dance Studio within the Cedar Rapids area, and they know that means putting their best foot forward always. 

Our performance dance teams are pretty great if we do say so ourselves! That’s why we have a tradition at Prestige of creating glowing photo galleries of our dancers that we feature on our very own website. They look just like professional dance companies!

We love displaying our teams on our website. We are proud of the work they do and what they bring to our community. Stay tuned for upcoming dates to catch these dancers live at competitions and community events. 2020 will be our best year yet! Happy New Year Prestige Families! 

Prestige Dance Studio Makes Headlines: Forty Under 40

young business owner

Prestige Dance families, we are proud to present some news! Our very own Miss Jess, artistic director and owner of PDS, has been recently recognized by the Corridor Business Journal. WE know that special things happen at Prestige every day, but it always feels wonderful to be reminded by others! It’s time to share the love with all of our dance families.

Each year, CBJ hosts a Forty Under 40 awards program which recognizes young leaders. These 40 fierce entrepreneurs are selected for their business success and the contributions they’ve made to the community. And guess what?! Miss Jess was one of them!

At the young age of 32, Miss Jess is in her 6th year as a young business owner and holds over 30 years of experience in the dance world. When asked by CBJ what she would do with 1 million dollars, she responded, “I have an incredible staff who love my business, our students and their families endlessly, and what extra I had to give, I would give to them.” 

Miss Jess takes pride in her business because it creates a safe space in the corridor for kids and adults to express themselves through movement. She wants Prestige Dance studio to grow over the years because its welcoming environment is a positive force within the community. 

To read more of Jess’s CBJ interview, check out her feature page here! Her answers are a great reminder of how far you can get with hard-work and supportive people in your life. We hope this news makes you proud to be a part of the Prestige family! Keep dancing 🙂
