Summer Programs

The Sum­mer Inten­sive Pro­gram is designed for the seri­ous bal­let stu­dent and con­ducted in a safe and sup­port­ive envi­ron­ment. PDT’s pro­fes­sional fac­ulty and staff are com­mit­ted to a teach­ing method that is chal­leng­ing, dis­ci­plined, rig­or­ous, health­ful and nurturing.

The cur­ricu­lum includes bal­let, mod­ern, jazz, hip-hop and more. An audition/placement class is required for stu­dents not cur­rently enrolled in the Conservatory.
