Penn Dance will be holding spring auditions when we return in January for the spring semester! More information coming soon. 

Every September, Penn Dance holds two open auditions and a call-back audition. In the Penn Dance audition, we begin with a ballet warm up to get everyone ready for center. Then we teach combinations from the pieces performed in our spring show so you can get a taste for our choreography.

Penn Dance is the only dance company on campus with a professional artistic director, Rachel Kantra Beal, and director emeritus, Nancy Kantra, and members also receive professionally instructed lessons twice a week. We perform a full-length dance concert every semester, which includes pieces by professional guest choreographers. We also dance in a wide variety of campus events, including coffeehouses, charity benefits, Relay for Life, the Emily Sachs Dance Benefit, and Freshmen Performing Arts Night, to name a few.

Throughout our history, we have strived to create a close community that constantly demonstrates professionalism and dedication. As a company, we seek to encourage artistic, technical, and personal growth. Penn Dance is truly a close group of friends that loves to share our experiences and passion for dance with one other.
