At the age of 2 my daughter would dance around the house like there was no tomorrow. Once she turned 3, we began our search for a studio that offered a great beginning foundation with ballet and did not overwhelm their students with split classes at such a young age. In our search we happen to find Bedford Dance Center. After speaking with the Director/Owner, Karen Pariseau, we felt we had found the right place for our daughter to beginning her journey. My daughter found a passion for dance at BDC and never waivered wanting to play a sport, or take in another after school activity. As she began to get older we began adding additional dance genres such as jazz, modern, tap, hip hop and eventually pointe. With the encouragement and solid teaching she received from all of the instructors, she grew into a fine disciplined young dancer and lady, who looked at BDC as her second home. After graduating from high school, she spent her first year dancing for a small ballet company; and then decided to come home and pursue her degree to teach dance. Even though she has graduated from both high school and college, she still returns frequently to take classes to help keep her technique strong and stay in shape.

I have also had the honor and pleasure for the past 20+ years for me to serve as a Costume Designer and Seamstress for Bedford Dance Center.
