Owners & Teachers
Precision Dance Academy is owned and operated by three partners
who have been dancing together since they were three years old.
Jessica Grimes, Michelle Toale & Sandra Lee Meacham are all well-rounded, experienced dance teachers/choreographers, who share one common trait...their love and passion for dance and the performing arts. The partners have performed, choreographed and produced many shows, including two shows at the World Famous Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Brooks-Atkinson Theater, all in NYC. They have also produced many recitals, which have been compared to Broadway shows, because of the elaborate scenery, props, dancing, singing and acting. The PDA staff has graduated with degrees in physical education, exercise science and education certifications. staying current on dance technique and advanced methods of choreography and teaching is a priority for their students education. The students from PDA have graduated and starred in high school and college plays/ musicals, become varsity cheerleading and dance team members, and college dance team captains. We provide the perfect combination of discipline, professionalism and a loving, friendly atmosphere.
All of our students will agree that PDA is like one, big happy family!
