Greetings!
Spring is around the corner, and with it, great news from the Rockingham Row community.
We congratulate the many advanced dancers who have successfully auditioned for summer intensives and college dance programs at premier institutions across the country. This time of the year can be stressful for everyone waiting on their acceptance letters, and once again, many students will be going to great places - including PDT's very own summer intensive.
Congratulations are also in order for PDT jazz instructor, Matt Williams for taking on another Broadway show, as we welcome his short-term replacement, Marjorie Failoni.
In DanceVision news, aside from holding auditions for The Secret Garden on February 20th, preparation has begun for it's first annual DanceFest, which will be held on April 17th. Details are below, and we look forward to dancing with you there!
Warm wishes,
Risa Kaplowitz & Susan Jaffe
Co-Directors

PDT Summer Intensive
June 28 - July 30
 This extraordinary summer ballet program will have three levels - appropriate for ages 10-19 (Prep for Pointe - Pre Professional). It is not necessary for current PDT students to audition but we advise getting in your registration form soon so you will have a spot in this limited capacity intensive.
Many have called PDT's Summer Intensive one of the best programs in the nation in terms of individual attention, detailed instruction, and the opportunity for enormous improvement. This year's special guest teachers include: Stephanie Saland (Former Principal Dancer with NYCB), Roy Kaiser (Current Artistic Director of PA Ballet) and Michael Shannon (Resident Choreographer for Configurations). Boarding is offered at the Hun School for ages 13 and older and in host homes for younger students.
