At PAC, we strive to provide a safe and positive environment where students can learn, grow, create, and challenge themselves. We refer to our little group of families, staff and dancers as our "PACfam" because that's how it feels. 95% of our teachers are former students of the owners---David, Leslie, and Tisha, and it's something we're very proud of! We hope every student feels important and considers PAC their 2nd home!
Testimonials
My daughters, ages 7 & 9 attended classes for only the second half their 1st season, but after performing in their 1st recital they want to take as many classes as possible. The shows were amazing, and so much fun for the kiddos to be a part of!

My daughter absolutely loved it... her first season was so great and her teachers made her feel so comfortable. Administration staff is so sweet and always helped this new dance mama with all her 100’s of questions lol. We’ll be back for summer and regular season. Thanks PAC you’re awesome.

My daughter has been attending Pacific Arts Complex for 9 years. It has truly become her home away from home. A supportive and loving environment where she can express her creativity, create lasting friendships and push herself to grow in all ways. We are so grateful to Pacific Arts Complex!
---Janna R. of Watsonville
Our family has been a part of Pacific Arts complex for 13 seasons and it has been an incredible experience. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They create a nurturing and inspiring environment for students of all ages. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and organized, making every visit pleasant and smooth. The variety of classes offered caters to different interests and skill levels, ensuring there's something for everyone. The studio has provided a creative outlet and a sense of community that has been invaluable. We have seen tremendous growth and joy in our daughter since joining the studio. We couldn't be happier with our decision to become part of this wonderful community. Although this is our daughter's last season of competing I know the memories and friendships she made will last a life time. Lastly, we would like to give a special thanks to David, Tisha and Leslie for all their hard work and dedication that they’ve put into our daughter. It’s been truly something special.

I wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience we had at the recent recital. The entire weekend was filled with such talent, dedication, and inspiration. From the captivating choreography to the passionate performances, every moment was truly memorable.
Our daughters haven't stopped talking about their excitement for next season since we left the venue. Your commitment to excellence and the supportive environment you provide have truly ignited their passion for dance. We are so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful dance family.
Thank you to the entire team for your hard work, creativity, and dedication in making this weekend such a success. We're already looking forward to the upcoming season and the opportunity to continue this amazing journey with PAC.

My daughter has been dancing at Pac since she was three years old! We took a short pause from dance during Covid and knew we needed to get her back in dance. Upon returning she was enjoying it so much she decided to try out for team. This will be her 5th year now on team and feels like PAC has become like a family and a second home! It’s amazing to see the growth and how far my daughter has come in this short time and it's thanks to the teachers and staff and the dedication and hard work they pour in daily. PAC really sets the bar high with their excellence! They are easily set apart with how well organized their events are and the contributions they do within the community. We love PAC ! We look forward to many more years with them!

We have been with Pacific Arts Complex for 10 years. Dancing at PAC has given our daughter useful skills she will be able to carry with her as she gets older such as teamwork, diligence and resilience. Best of all PAC has become more than just a dance studio for our daughter. It has become a second home, a place she can find a sense of community and guidance from her teachers who inspire and motivate her to be her best. It has also been a place where she has made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
---April H. of Watsonville
Last year we decided to switch to PAC and it was the best decision we could have made for our kids. PAC has it all--- amazing teachers, a strong well rounded training program, an organized and helpful office manager and an atmosphere of support and love for students of all levels and abilities. A great studio is made by great staff and the teachers at PAC are top notch.
---Amanda W. of Carmel Valley
Pacific Arts Complex has the most dedicated dance teachers. All the dancers look up their teachers. Its a beautiful thing to watch dancers grow together, learn to work as a team, make life long friends and express their emotions through dance. My daughter is always looking foward to class. You can really feel the close sence of community at PAC. The smiles you see at the studio are priceless. Not to mention it's an award winning studio at competition and nationals.
---Adriana A. of Watsonville
We love being a part of this community! The staff is professional, understanding and supportive. Which exudes into the dancers, they are all supportive of one another no matter how old or young. It gives your child the confidence they need to grow not only as a dancer but as a person. The behind the scenes is very well organized. You get set dates for events way ahead of time and you are always in communication with what is going on. If you’re confused or have questions there is always someone you can talk to, to get answers. Best Dance Studio to be a part of!!!
---Jessica C. of Watsonville
My daughter has been dancing with PAC for the past 10 years. The PAC staff is supportive, kind, and like a second family to us. The teachers at PAC are extremely talented, knowledgeable, and teach with their whole heart. PAC shows their students how to love and be kind to themselves, encourage and build up others, how to be responsible for yourself and your space, and that when you work hard anything is possible. I have watched my daughter not only grow tremendously as a dancer, but as a positive, empathetic, and responsible person as well. I am so grateful to have a safe and supportive studio where my daughter can go to enjoy her love for dance.
---Rachel S. of Watsonville
This was our first experience with the Pacific Arts Complex. To say it was “amazing” and “joyful” would be an understatement! I signed my oldest daughter up for a hip hop class and my youngest daughter for ballet/jazz. I had NO idea what to expect at all! But watching my daughters progress in their first dance instruction ever made me realize this is something they could do for the rest of their lives. As the recital day loomed closer, a little stress and nerves began to set in (mostly for me/mom) but once the lights dimmed and the show began I was blown away by the sheer BEAUTY of it all!! My cheeks hurt from the smile I had on my face the entire time! The older dancers brought tears to my eyes with their performances and the sincerity in their faces as they moved across the stage!
Bravo! A million times over- BRAVO!! I am fully on board with PAC! Thank you for all you do and the artistic ability you encourage!
