Three divisions are available, depending on age, experience and commitment level of the student.
Division 1 is a half year program for the 7-12 age group & students must be registered in a dance class at FHDP.
Divisions 2 & 3 run a full year, for ages 12+. Students must be a currently registered student at FHDP, taking ballet and either jazz or modern.
In addition to regular classes, PD students meet weekly to learn choreography in preparation for performance. The focus from September to December is the Christmas Show with all Divisions rehearsing on Sundays. From January to June, Divisions 2 & 3 prepare for the Spring Show and Year-end Shows, with rehearsals on Fridays. Master classes will be offered over the course of the year covering a range of topics, designed to enhance training and experience. Please note: These are the program guidelines, but students with a passion for performance will be considered on an individual basis.
By audition: Friday June 11 @ 4:30 pm
For those unable to attend the June audition, a secondary audition will be held September 17 @ 4:30 pm. If you are unable to attend either audition, give us a call and we can arrange for you to meet with the Artistic Director. Please call for more info.
