Pointe Shoes
Rachel Ackerman
It was always my dream,
if you know what I mean,
to dance on my toes,
in really big shows.
In June of '08,
I was given the date,
to purchase my shoes.
It was really great news.
At first it was hard,
that caught me off guard.
Now I dance on my toes,
and even with pros!

Greetings!
Happy New Year! We look forward to sharing some exciting news with you. First, PDT Studio welcomes its newest instructor, Christina Johnson. In keeping with PDT's commitment to the highest quality of dance education, we are so pleased that Ms. Johnson, a former principal dancer with Dance Theater of Harlem, will join us. She will be teaching the Ballet 4 and Conservatory Program classes on Saturdays. Second, despite the freezing temperatures, it is already time to begin thinking about summer programs. PDT's nationally recognized ballet intensive will be holding auditions this month in Princeton and in Maryland. Please read the article below for more information. Finally, please take a look at the several workshops, auditions and performances happening over the next few months. We hope to see you there!
