Philadelphia Dance Projects ongoing educational programs work to facilitate conversation about dance, and enrich and sustain an audience for contemporary dance in Philadelphia.
For 8 years, PDP has
placed an ongoing educational project at Olney High School providing students
the opportunity to study contemporary dance techniques with some of
Philadelphia’s finest professional dancers and choreographers and to take field
trips to see professional dance performances. For many young people it has been
their first foray into dance, both through interaction with creative artists as
well as attending a performance in a professional theater.
