OFF STAGE

CLASSES

PD takes one modern and one ballet class per week, each for an hour and a half. These are taught by our artistic director, Rachel Kantra Beal, and other professionals from the Philadelphia area.

Ballet with Jess Daley

Classes are a fun, low-pressure, and supportive place to build technique and artistry while experimenting with new styles, teachers, and choreography.

WORKSHOPS

Throughout the year, members of PD have the opportunity to teach a workshop featuring a class in any style of dance or a combination of their creation. Workshops in the past have included Horton modern, tap, jazz, floor work, Rockette, classical ballet variations, partner work, yoga, meditation, stretch, pilates, Graham modern, tumbling, and much more.

Our PDamily! From backstage traditions to Philly dinners, group mixers, holiday gift exchanges, and so much more, a favorite part of PD is the time we spend together outside of the studio.

PUBLICITY

Led by the PD co-publicists, the whole company is involved in promoting our shows and other PD happenings.
