Many of you may already know that Miss Pam and her family have been navigating a very difficult health journey over the past 10 months. Others may be hearing about it for the first time.

For more than 50 years, Miss Pam has been such an important part of the lives of countless PAMD dancers and families. So many of us have memories of her, learned from her, laughed with her, and were shaped by the love and energy she brought to Parkside.

Her daughter, Crystal, has shared more about what their family has been facing and has created a GoFundMe to help with the significant care and accessibility needs that have come with this journey.

If you are able, please consider supporting the family or simply sharing the fundraiser. And, as always, please keep Miss Pam and her family in your thoughts. ❤️

The dance studio has a new space! The piano room has been transformed into a student teacher lounge. I am looking for pennant flags from colleges of PAMD students that danced while at college (clubs, minors, or majors are all welcomed!) If you have one or would like to buy us one, please send/bring it to the studio so we can hang it up!! Also let us know in the comments so we don’t end up with more that one of the same flag! Pic for reference- they will be hanging down from a clothesline!

From studio days to move-in days… here they go! 🎓 Our seniors are settling into their dorms and getting ready to start classes as they begin this exciting new chapter. While we’ll miss seeing them in the studio, we couldn’t be more excited to watch all that’s ahead for them.

Once a PAMD dancer, always a PAMD dancer. Go make this year unforgettable!
