Pam Harrold - Owner/Artistic Director

Pam started studying ballet when she was three years old. For the next 15 years ballet was the only form of dance she pursued, studying with master teachers from all over the world, concentrating her training at the San Francisco Ballet. When she was just 18 Pam became a professional performer in the musical theatre world and added Musical Theater, Jazz, and Tap to her training. For the next twenty-four years she performed on the professional stage, toured with the gospel singing group, Liteside, taught dancing and choreographed for different organizations, other performing groups, and schools throughout greater Sacramento region. Since 1983 Pam has been the director and choreographer for the Placer High School Spring Musical productions. Pam also taught the Theater Dance class for the P.E. department at Placer High school until the fall of 2001. She has added TV commercials and appearances in TV movies to her resume since 1987.

She danced in Los Angeles for four years, training with such well-known choreographers as Joe Tremaine, Jackie Sleight, Doug Caldwell, Tony Copolla, and Michael Rooney. Her main emphasis has been jazz (both lyrical and contemporary styles) and tap. Debbi was the recipient of a scholarship from the Manhattan Dance Project that enabled her to study ballet, jazz, tap, and musical theater on Broadway the summer of 1999. She furthered her dance education there taking from Broadway and international choreographers such as Gil Stroming, Suzi Taylor, Chet Walker, and the Radio City Rockettes. Debbi teaches a Los Angeles type dance class, highlighting style in dance as we as technique and performance. She has taught and choreographed for many different groups throughout the foothills. Debbi is a very dynamic and charismatic performer herself, always giving her heart to the audience. Two years ago Debbi added "Mom" to her resume with the birth of her son, Seth. Later this year she will give birth to a new bundle of joy (and another new dancer will be born!)
