Good Job at PDC Auditions!!

Good Job Everyone!

I hope you had a blast with our special guest treat "Bradley Beaks" who came and taught the audition master class!!!!  Us judges were jealous and wanted to get up and partake in the lovely movement!  I hope you were able to take something away (you learned something) from the class and audition!

I will have the list posted here tonight or tomorrow.  Everyone did a wonderful job!  There may be some "alternates" that may be notified if accepted PDC members cannot make the commitment/stipulations/conditions set forth.  Dancers will be notified (email or phone) if a spot opens up at any time from now until the end of summer.

If you are accepted into PDC you MUST attend the mandatory dancer and parent new member meeting in 2 weeks to review and discuss the upcoming year, commitment, schedule, etc.  Info will be sent out.

It is highly encouraged that all dancers keep taking technique classes and also that dancers take dance as a fine arts credit where they learn compositional devices, choreographic forms, improvisational skills, dance art, kinesiology, history, etc. as taught in Dance 3/UVU Concurrent Enrollment Dance Class.  Dance 3 is a non-mandatory, but highly encouraged and sought-after requirement for PDC.  It also looks really good for sterling scholar and college transcripts.

Remember, you are all beautiful and talented.  Keep up the good work and KEEP DANCING!!!!!

"Enjoy the Journey"  and "Love each Moment"



Happy Dancing,
Mrs. Di Lello
