Pasadena Dance Theatre's Conservatory of Performing Arts offers exceptional dance training and educational programs to the community. The school has a comprehensive pre-professional program to train dancers who are focused on a career in dance, as well as offering opportunities and programs for children and adults who wish to dance primarily for enjoyment and exercise.
 
The training program begins with the Preschool/Elementary Division, in which classes emphasize creative movement, expression, and beginning technique. Students may advance to the Classical/Pre-professional Division, in which technical skills are built in a logical progression. Students in the Advanced Division of the Conservatory may be invited to join PDT II. Members of PDT II perform with Pasadena Dance Theatre's professional company in it's annual production of The Nutcracker, and may also appear in several more productions throughout the year.
 
Dance classes are offered for Adults of beginning, intermediate and advanced level.
