Is the PDC Summer Intensive 2020 online or in person?
Due to the desire to protect our dancers, faculty, and families during the COVID19 pandemic, we have shifted gears for the 2020 PDCSI to be 100% online through zoom.
What is the PDC Summer Intensive?
The PDC Summer Intensive is a week of incredible dance classes, seminars, mock and real auditions, and dance related activities. The intensive is created by, and is a fundraiser for, PERSpectives Dance Company.
What are the levels/ages?
There are 2 levels: Intermediate and advanced/professional. Each level is designed specifically for the needs of the dancers at that level in their dancing career and gives dancers the opportunity to work with master teachers and audition for scholarships. Scholarships are awarded at the end of the week and a for the next season.
Intermediate dancers will have demanding classes and work on next level technique and style. It is recommended for dancers 9-12/13 years of age.
The advanced/ professional level is designed to challenge dancers who are interested in pursuing a career in dance, or achieving that next level goal. As such, the age recommendation for this level is 14-adult. No dancer under 13 will be permitted. Along with challenging classes with master teachers, dancers will have seminars on resume writing and headshots, audition skills, tips to keep working, injury prevention, and what opportunities are out their for dancers. They will also have an opportunity to audition for the PERSpectives Pre-Professional Company, PDC.2, which will have the opportunity to work with the professional company, PERSpectives Dance Co., and have a unique performance opportunity.
