Lines are dedicated groups of dancers who build leadership, teamwork, confidence, and lifelong friendships through disciplined training and performance. Members compete at two local and one national competition, perform in the summer recital, and participate in the annual Christmas Extravaganza supporting Gahanna Residents In Need. This event is so impactful that Gahanna’s mayor honored director Jeri Pinnell with an official holiday.

Competition dancers receive professional training through weekly classes, technique courses, guest artists, and national dance conventions. Pinnell Dance Centre also offers a unique Big and Little Sister/Brother program, pairing younger dancers with experienced mentors during the annual Saturday Showcase where dancers play games and share their routines for the season.

Pinnell’s award-winning competition program has earned top national honors and been recognized by Dance Spirit Magazine and Dance Teacher Now as one of the top 50 competition studios in the country. Dancers have received scholarships to train in New York and Los Angeles and have performed in prestigious events such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Hula Bowl, and Red Hot Broadway.
