Founded in 2007 by Melissa Gendreau, the main goal of PCDC is to create a new, contemporary perception on life through movement and dance. PCDC absorbs audiences in compelling stories - aiming to challenge existing perceptions of life through athletic and theatrical movement. The Company aspires to break boundaries by taking audiences back to the belief that anything is possible, utilizing iconoclastic ideas and strong story lines. The company focuses on engaging audiences in tales that inspire and produce a vivid and clear experience through choreography that demonstrates a physical language for human emotion and thought, challenging social issues and creating imaginative plots.

PCDC is committed to creating art that contributes to the community in meaningful way through service and performance. The company has a strong focus on outreach, helping not-for-profit companies like M.E.D.A. (Massachusetts-Service Eating Disorder Association), Community Systems Inc, WHY ME (Sherry's House) and many more. In addition, PCDC hosts the Perceptions Dance Festival in New York, which gives emerging and established choreographers and companies an opportunity to present work in New York City.
