PDP Annual Appeal 2025

This year we are asking you to share your support again to help PDP continue championing dance artists who as individuals and small organizations contribute richly to the breadth of opinions, ideas, and esthetics many of which emerged outside of a larger institutional culture in our city. With your donation we were able to continue DANCE UP CLOSE, a series that emphasizes the synergy of creative collaboration and highlights the superb talents of lesser-known artists from our city.

PDP gratefully acknowledges support from:
The National Endowment for the Arts – Trust For Mutual Understanding –  Pew Center for Arts & Heritage – Philadelphia Cultural Fund   – American Online Giving Foundation – Individual Donors –
Partner organizations: Philadanco!  Műhely Alapítvány/Workshop Foundation, BodyMeld & PhillyCAM.

Our projects

PDP’s projects celebrate and support contemporary dance artists at various stages of their creative process and professional journey. Our projects remember, explore, and expand the connections between contemporary artists and audiences in Philadelphia.
