The PTDW offers technical training in a wide variety of dance styles, for both the professionally bound and avocational dancer. We believe in quality training, regardless of the dancer's age or ultimate goal. To this end, we offer a wide range of programs, taught by a faculty comprised of teachers who possess a wealth of professional experience in teaching, performance, and choreography. We also believe in a "multi-lingual " approach to training, and to this end, you will find classes in Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Dance Team, Earth Rhythms, Belly Dance, and much more...
In addition to our curriculum of multiple dance forms that focus on technical training for both the professionally bound as well as the avocational dancer, we also focus on aspects of movement that utilize dance as one important component of a "wellness lifestyle." To this end we have classes in Zumba, Conditioning, Dance for Parkinson's (in affiliation with the Mark Morris Dance Group, and in partnership with the Robert & Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, UC Davis), in addition to classes such as Movement as Metaphor, which uses movement as a tool for personal exploration.
We believe in dance as an integral part of life, and invite you to share this with us.
