Premier Youth Dance Company

Premier Youth Dance Company is a pre professional dance company for dancers aspiring to become professional dancers. PYDC bridges the gap between a dance studio and a professional dance company by providing dancers with the opportunity to participate in various projects that they will face as professional artists. 

  • My daughter Carissa joined PYDC this year and already we feel at home. We are so grateful for the top-notch ballet and modern training and opportunities that PYDC provides for young dancers. Ms. Gunta is not only a gifted dance educator and choreographer but puts in a lot of heart and commitment to providing a welcoming and safe space for young dancers to develop their dance technique and artistry. Because of the welcoming culture at Premier, the dancers are also very supportive of each other and cheer on each others' success.

  • Premier Youth Dance Company’s dedication to fostering creativity, talent, and personal growth among young dancers is truly exceptional. Under Ms. Gunta’s guidance, my children have not only honed their technical abilities and artistic expression but they have also developed a relentless pursuit of self-improvement and an unwavering belief in their own potential. The performances staged by PYDC are nothing short of breathtaking, showcasing the talent and passion of every individual involved. I am immensely grateful to Premier Youth Dance Company for providing a nurturing and inspiring platform for young dancers to flourish.

  • Words can't express how grateful we are for Ms. Gunta. She's not just a teacher; she's a mentor, a guide, and an inspiration to our daughter. Her ability to recognize and nurture each dancer's unique strengths, while instilling confidence and encouragement, is truly remarkable. Under her guidance, our daughter has not only grown as a dancer but also as a person. Thank you for being such an incredible influence in her life.

  • Our daughter has the joy and privilege of being part of the Premier Youth Dance Company. Ms. Gunta is completely devoted to each dancer’s growth. Under Ms. Gunta’s mentoring and example, our daughter has grown not just as a contemporary dancer, but as an artist. She has improved her technique and has had significant opportunities to compete and perform. She has developed insight into choreography and the creative process— the intricate interplay of dance with music, film, video production, photography, music, visual arts, psychology, words, acting, business and the professions. Ms. Gunta’s artistry and the camaraderie of the company experience has enriched our daughter’s life far beyond the studio. We appreciate this opportunity!

  • Joining PYDC has been such a great experience for Ariella. She loves being part such a talented group and it has given her an opportunity to really grow and gain experience in modern/contemporary. Ms. Gunta has been a wonderful, supportive mentor and teacher and experiencing new and different guest teachers and choreographers has also been fantastic!
