Workshops
During our workshops, dancers aged 13-18 will receive unparalleled training in ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, tap, theater, and yoga. We also offer a performance and choreography workshop format with our dancers who will then work closely with your students to create choreography. Our workshops can be personally catered to your students and may also involve voice coaching and a mock audition. Inquire below to discover what we can bring to your school or studio.
intensives
Our dance intensives are by invitation only and give professional and pre-professional dancers a chance to dance alongside the company, partaking in company class and rehearsals. Each intensive culminates in a unique opportunity to perform in a professional theater with the company.
master classes
Our master classes are a great way to learn the PDP style and get a chance to work with choreographer Angela Patmon. We travel to schools and studios to teach new work and old repertory to professional and aspiring dancers and often teach classes locally in NYC. Please join our mailing list to be kept up to date on master classes in your area.
