SUMMARY:Performing Arts Workshop - Studio Company Registration
DESCRIPTION:Performing Arts Workshop Studio Company is a vibrant community of adult dancers.  We believe dance is for everyone – people of all backgrounds\, abilities\, experience levels\, and ages – and we welcome first time performers and veterans alike to join us in celebrating the joy of movement and performance! \nThe PAW Studio Company was born in August of 2023 out of a need for an already abundant community of beautiful adult dancers to have a performing space to call their own.  A first successful choreographic workshop and in studio performance in October 2023 led to more performance and choreographic opportunities for a group of amazing women who love performing together.  Today we continue to meet\, rehearse\, and perform together\, in order to share our work in our local communities at events such as street fairs\, art walks\, and annual performances on stages throughout San Diego. \nWe welcome new dancers year round to join PAW Studio Company\, rehearse\, and perform with us!  To view more information about Studio Co.\, our upcoming performance opportunities (including our annual Nutcracker in December ’26) and to register\, please visit our website today!  https://www.pawstudiocompany.com/
