Greetings!

This month brings with it the excitement of new beginnings. The school year begins at Princeton Dance and Theater Studio on Monday September 20.  We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and meeting many new ones. No matter what your age, level or dance preference, there is something at PDT for you. Classes are filling quickly, (some are already full) so if you are not yet registered, we suggest doing so as soon as possible.

If you are a ballet student, please note that on September 25th, DanceVision will be holding auditions for Susan Jaffe's The Nutcracker. This beautiful annual production will take place this year on December 11th at 7:00 PM and 12th at 2:00 PM at Montgomery Center for the Performing Arts.  Please see below for audition times. We look forward to casting all roles for all ages - even adults. If you are a parent to a student here
(moms and dads!), you are welcome too. This is your invitation to participate in one of the best holiday events in the area!

Looking forward to a wonderful year,
