Local Theatre Arts Company Celebrates Eight Years of Success
Peachtree Corners dance studio prepares students for a lifetime of music and dance -- and maybe even a future on Dancing With the Stars.
Eight years ago, Jenn Harmon and her husband Shawn, foresaw the need for a dance school in the Peachtree Corners area. With an entrepreneurial spirit, they formed the Priceless Performers Dance and Theatre Arts Company.
They set the school’s mission “to provide students of all ages with the skills they need to enjoy music and dance for a lifetime.” This naturally led to a musical theatre approach which combines acting, singing, and dancing. “It is designed to help kids learn all of the basics of musical theatre in a fun, creative, and supporting environment. It is the idea of using music, singing, and dance to create characters and tell a story."
Next, they wanted to instill in their students a sense of community service and this evolved into several scheduled performances at local assisted living facilities with fall and holiday shows also in their master plan.
