In 1979 Ms. Pat, our founder, opened Pat's Dance in her basement with only seventeen children. We grew from there and in 1992, we moved to our home on Church Street. More Growth with Ms. Mel (previous Assistant Director) as our new owner in 2018. New and exciting things to come! We are a Performance based studio proudly contributing to our community.
Our studio is our HOME. A place where you're not judged. Where you are loved for who you are. My husband's make-shift bar was our dance barre! Our recitals for our first few years were held at the tiny white church on Merrick Road across from Ideals supermarket in Baldwin. Each year we grew, until enrollment was so big it was time to move from the basement.

Her favorite animal is the Florida Manatee and has even got to swim with them twice!
She also loves the Harry Potter movies!

She loved every minute of it and I am so happy that she found a Dance home at Pat's.
A graduating senior said, "Pat's does not care if you are the best dancer they care that you love to dance."
I knew Pat's would be our forever home when my daughter wanted to miss Girl Scout to practice for the recital (I'm the troop leader, smh).
On to the next adventure.
We love you all and can't wait to see what the future brings!
Can't thank the staff at Pats enough, especially Melanie Vaughan for 15 years of beautiful recitals, for having a significant role in shaping the woman and dancer my beautiful daughter has become, for being a place she considered a home full of people she loves like family.
