Sunday, June 12 at 3:00 PM West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South
The PDT Showcase enables its students to show their parents, friends and the community all that they have learned throughout the year. Those of you who have seen the much anticipated annual performance know that you won't spend interminably long hours watching spangled costumes and light shows common at many dance recitals. The PDT showcase is all about technique and artistry appropriate to the age and level of the students. You won't want to miss this very entertaining afternoon.
Tickets are only $10.00 and may be purchased at the door or reserved by calling PDT Studio at 609-514-1600. |
