Pam is a certified Acrobatic Arts instructor and she currently teaches our Acro/Tumbling program and our Pulse Dance Company Acro competition team. Pam is also a skilled jazz and musical theater teacher. Her career as a professional dancer has carried her overseas to such exotic places as Singapore and Taiwan while employed with “DisneyFest” and “Sesame Street Live”. She has graced the Disney World stages performing in “Mickey’s International Songbook” at Epcot Center and in the 25th Anniversary “Spectro Magic Parade”. One of her most memorable moments as a dancer was performing on the Today Show with NBC. Pam is a current member of USA Gymnastics and is continuing her teaching education with courses offered through the USAG University. She has continued her professional development through one of the largest training facilities in the world at the International Gymnastics Camp in Pennsylvania. Her gymnastics background is due to the wonderful teachings at Maine Academy of Gymnasatics, Bridgton’s Broadway Dance Studio, and Dudziaks Gymnastics. Her strength, power, and the combination of tumbling and dance earned her a role as Peter Pan with Disney as well as team performances on Royal Carribean and Carnival Cruise Lines. Another favorite past time of Miss Pam’s is choreographing musical theater. She has undertaken this persona for ten years and has pieced together 13 shows between Lake Region Community Theater, Lake Region High School and Lewiston Middle School. Ms. Collins-Stahle has been a competitive choreographer for HipHop, Jazz, AcroJazz, and High School Cheering at many different levels.

Her coaching career includes such feats as her team earning a spot at the State Competition for 3 consecutive years and winning Western Maine Conference Cheering Competition in 2005. Many of her former dancers and cheerleaders have continued on as coaches and choreographers. She states “one of my passions in life is mentoring young dancers, gymnasts and cheerleaders. I hope to go above and beyond educating in the classroom, I want to inspire”.
