Class Act Dance (CAD) is a cornerstone of the Paso Robles dance community, offering a broad curriculum that spans Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, and Pre-Dance. Founded in 1989 by Cheryle Armstrong, CAD has grown into a modern hub for training, performance, and pre-professional development through the Paso Robles Dance Collective (PRDC). In 2025, leadership transitioned to Rachel Connerton, who assumed the role of owner/director on September 1, while Armstrong continues to contribute as an instructor and consultant. CAD moved to a larger facility in recent years, reflecting its commitment to accessible, community-focused programming and strong in-house communications via newsletters and events.
