THE PASCP ADVANTAGE

students with a strong dance foundation in a nurturing and enjoyable atmo-
sphere.
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 instruc-
tion.
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.
