MOVERS

The PPD MOVERS program is designed to enrich the growing artist’s dance experience. After attending our SUMMER INTENSIVE dancers ages 13+ with exceptional passion, skill, and desire to dive deeper into their training and artistry have been invited to join this program! PPD will provide the MOVERS with a close knit pre-professional dance community to push them to the next level artistically, physically and creatively.

Throughout the season the MOVERS will train with Artistic director, Kat Pantos and program assistant and company dancer, Kendall Bush. Through advanced classwork and performance opportunities that include working alongside the professional company, the youth company will merge concert and commercial work in a supportive and passionate environment.
