The Performing Dance Ensemble is for intermediate and advanced dancers who are serious about performing.  Students learn a varied and challenging repertoire that  stretches them technically and artistically.  They participate in the creation of new works and have the chance to grow in the interpretation and execution of choreography by performing the same repertoire in several shows each semester.

Students will work on their resume, define their career aspirations and prepare a promotional package to that effect.

Students also learn about health issues relative to performing.

Invited professionals participate in the program thereby sharing their dance experiences in all aspects of the dance profession.
