Pauline Rodgers School of Dance in Altoona, known as PBR Dance, has built its reputation since Miss Pauline began teaching for Ruth Barnes in 1960, fostering integrity, manners, artistic ability, and self-esteem in each student. Across its Altoona and Duncansville studios it teaches ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, modern, contemporary, acro, and hip hop, presents The Nutcracker and an annual recital, and its competition team has won Top Studio at Encore DCS in Altoona six years in a row.
