The PACE (Parker Arts, Culture, and Events) Center is the City of Parker's main cultural complex…read more It is managed by Parker Arts and is just a block east of downtown Parker, right off Mainstreet. The complex includes the Mainstage Theater, an intimate proscenium stage with 534 seats, a spacious art gallery plus extensive wall space for art display in the theater lobby, a 3,000 square foot event room, and the beautiful west terrace which has access to both the theater lobby and the event room. The classroom wing includes a dance studio, two creative studios, and two discovery labs. Parker Arts runs an extensive program of theatrical performances, art shows, and classes. All parts of the complex are available for rental for events from weddings to business conferences. There is a large parking lot in front of the building and a parking ramp is under construction (May 2025) just to the east.

Recently had my first visit to The Studio to attend Game Show Night with Rion Evans. The ticketed…read moreevent was really fun too! Most attendees had a chance to play games like Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, and Elimination. Rion Evans is a fun host and the event was very entertaining. Definitely recommend this event. The night we went, the place was packed. Our girls group of 10 squeezed into a table meant for 6 so it was definitely cramped. Every table was occupied but despite the crowd, the staff was attentive and kept up with our orders. I only ordered one drink and my tab was close to $20, which to me is a bit pricey (no happy hour). The Studio does offer a good variety of bevvy choices and a limited menu (I did not order any food but the other ladies did say the sandwiches were good). Will have to give the menu a try next time.

Stopped in during Parker Days weekend and I'm glad we did! This place is a fantastic hotspot for…read morelive music, good vibes, drinks, and food. The staff from bartenders to servers were all extremely friendly and helpful. We only came in for drinks since we had just eaten, but the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled amazing. Next time, we'll definitely try it! A live band was playing while people danced, including the owners who were out on the floor having fun with everyone. It's clear they care about creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Great vibe all around. This is the kind of spot where responsible adults can eat, drink, and be merry. After walking past this place for the last couple of years, I'm honestly disappointed I didn't stop in sooner. It's a great spot to relax and unwind with friends or colleagues especially if there's live music playing. Don't miss out!

Having a boy that dances unfortunately isn't common and can make it difficult to feel welcome in a dance studio. The staff and owners at Studio 9 are truly the best! He takes tap, ballet and hip hop classes along with a boys only ballet class!! This has allowed our son to grow as a dancer and learn partnering. He loves the teacher which is great because keeping a group of young boys moving isn't easy! He recently performed in his first show at Studio 9 and it was a first class production. The backdrops and props were top notch.

This beautifully restored building was originally opened in 1915 as the Parker Schoolhouse, then in…read more1967 was taken over by Parker United Methodist Church which built the annex in 1978. It was acquired by the Town of Parker in 1995 to use as a community center. A recent $3 million renovation has restored the historic portion of the building to immaculate condition and completely revamped the newer annex section. The complex includes an event room, meetings rooms, a dance studio, a 200-seat theater, an art gallery curated by the Parker Artist Guild, and an historical museum managed by the Parker Area Historical Society. The facility hosts community arts events and classes in theater, dance, music, and visual arts. The theater lobby now has a large concession area with new bathrooms and much more space and the theater has new seats and risers for much-improved sight lines. The theater is also now fully ADA-compliant. The renovations have been extremely well-done. The new theater lobby is spacious and has a well-designed concession area. There's lots of room for the art gallery and for the little historical museum off to one side. The original Schoolhouse section maintains lots of original woodwork and has been opened up to show the original layout. There are lots of spaces for classes and meetings. The Schoolhouse is right in the middle of historic Parker with lots of shops and restaurants a short stroll away. It is a great adjunct to the larger PACE Center which is a couple of blocks down the street on the edge of the historic district.

As I mentioned earlier, this location is crying for updates. Do have nice concession area but no food or alcohol options. The restroom nearby was clean but very outdated. Seating were very old and uncomfortable. Screens were small. Throughout the movie, HVAC noise was very noticeable and disturbed the movie watching experience. Not good.

They have always valued technique and teaching the basics. While they offer a competition team, they also support many recreational dancers with a variety of classes at many levels. My daughter started with their company 3 years ago and has had an amazing growth while doing it! Last year, the studio did go through some growing pains, but this year feels like we are back on solid ground. The new owners, Toni & Ceresa, have jumped right in with confidence and positivity. They own another studio in the Springs, and have been around the dance world for a while. I have faith that they will continue to grow and support our dancers at PDA. I was aware of both Toni & Ceresa from previous competitions, and I was always blown away by the talent of their dancers. Their passion for dance and their students is evident. They clearly want to support each dancer along their dance journey. The staff at PDA is absolutely amazing! They are super dedicated and supportive of all of their students, and each other. They have such good relationships with their students and their student's families. The teachers promote a supportive and nurturing community amongst the dancers. It's truly such a safe and caring environment where the students all feel supported, and want to support each other. I couldn't recommend PDA enough for both rec dancers and dancers looking for competition dance.
