1 2016 Summer Ballet Programs at Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania

2 THE PASCP ADVANTAGE A Joyful Pursuit of Excellence 33Experienced faculty provides excellent training for ages 3 through adult. 33 PASCP offers the area s most comprehensive ballet programs, providing students with a strong dance foundation in a nurturing and enjoyable atmosphere. 33 A wide variety of summer programs offered to conveniently fit busy summer schedules. 33 Our program has earned a national reputation for excellence in dance instruction. 33 Nationally recognized guest teachers provide students with individual attention Recommendations for current PASCP students: The Preschool Ballet (Step 1, 2, 3) and Beginning Ballet (Red-Orange levels) programs provide the very best atmosphere and training in the area. PASCP students excel because of our high quality of training, instructors, and studio environment. Based on years of development and experience, students taking our intensive summer programs (workshops and full-day intensives) often see significant improvements in a short period of time. Quite simply, more effort = more progress! If dancers are considering a national summer intensive program away from home, we encourage parents and students to discuss their considerations with the PASCP Artistic Director. We can be a resource for you and would like to help guide you through the process. Students attending other summer programs will be the most successful if they take summer intensives at PASCP before (in preparation for) and after (for retention and strength) their away programs. Our most successful students have taken the summer intensives starting at the Orange level and continue to do so through their time as students at PASCP.
