MARTHA GRAHAM
PDC was founded by professional dancer and St. Louis native, Gerri Stretz Meyer as the Gerri Stretz Academy of Dance. Gerri's daughter, Yvonne Meyer Hare, grew up dancing in her mother's studio, first as a student, then instructor, transitioning seamlessly to the studio owner and Artistic Director after Gerri's retirement in 2013. Since 1961, the studio has become the premier studio for dancers of all types, from the budding dancer to the advanced teen.
PDC offers a variety of dance classes for children of all ages through high school senior, as well as adults. Whether for fun and fitness or to develop technique and skills, we provide a full timetable of classes offering something for everyone.
