About our Programs
What Are You Giving Your Dancer?
The PDT Dance Arts training programs are geared toward the growth & personal success of each and every dancer that comes through our doors. When you invest in your child by providing them dance lessons, you are not only giving them the opportunity to learn a new skill, but more importantly, providing them with life enhancing values such as confidence, dedication, commitment & goal setting that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
​
What Does it Take?
Learning any new skill takes time and patience. We recommend giving your dancer a commitment of a minimum of 9-12 months of classes to see the best results from his or her training. Our 12 month progressive training programs are specifically designed to aid in the proper healthy growth of our students in their dance training. Your dancer will be recommended the proper classes they need to progress safely and efficiently, all while having fun and sharing their interest with peers. As your dancer acquires new skills they will upgrade to more difficult class levels and higher level training programs.
