KELSEY RIOUX | OWNER/DIRECTOR
Welcome!
Artistry Dance Center, previously named The Putnam Dance Center, was founded in 1996 and offers a complete program of dance education for all levels from beginners to advanced. Our goal is to develop coordination, grace, physical fitness, and time management, while building self esteem and confidence. Through positive reinforcement our students will gain a lifelong appreciation for music, dance, and the arts, while creating friendships and memories that will last a life time!

A message from the Director:
It is with great pride that I continue to carry on the legacy of The Putnam Dance Center with our new studio name, "Artistry Dance Center," as owner and director! I hope over the years to come, our ADC family can continue to carry on what makes our studio so special and keep the core values/beliefs that Annette Hebard, the previous owner, has instilled with The PDC. Here at ADC, we value the importance of friendships, community, creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to express themselves along with helping children to learn the importance of commitment and perseverance. But most importantly, we aim to share the love of the art of dance with our friends and families.
And with that being said, welcome to Artistry Dance Center’s 4th season, and our 29th year of dance! Let’s start off by giving a HUGE congratulations to those who performed in last year’s recital! The show was absolutely amazing, and we could not have pulled it off without all the wonderful help we received. From parent volunteers, to staff of PMS and ADC and more- you all had a part in helping out students shine on stage!
To those of you new to our family- welcome! We hope your dancer finds joy, love, and friendship within our studio in the art of Dance. We welcome you with open arms, and are here to answer any questions you may have!
Our best mode of communication is email: artistrydancecenter@gmail.com
Have a FANTASTIC year everyone!
With love,
Kelsey Rioux

“The girls just LOVE you all and we are so thankful to be part of such a wonderful studio! Thank you for your constant kindness and love towards each of these kids.”
“My girls have been dancing at the studio for five years now and they absolutely love their teachers and the friends they meet. The teachers always meet the child where they are at and make it a point to get to know their family and in that it is a positive community of students, teachers, and parents.”
