Dim the lights, draw the curtains and grace the stage! Join us for our 2021/2022 Performance Development Programme as we embark on this journey to newfound performance skills and more comprehensive techniques.

Through this programme, we hope to:

• enhance the dancers’ technical and performance abilities by encouraging them to explore and experience more comprehensive dance techniques and performance-based training in Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz.
• provide dancers with performance opportunities on various platforms such as public events or professional stages by invitation and allow for growth as a performer
• instill self-discipline, motivation, determination and perseverance in every dancer 
• develop the dancers’ confidence and help each and every dancer achieve their full potential 

The training will focus on body posture, increasing flexibility, gaining strength through conditioning and building movement vocabulary as well as performance quality and showmanship in a holistic and nurturing environment.

PDP dancers will also be given the opportunity to gain stage exposure by performing at external events such as public shows and be graded for their performance in the Dancepointe Academy Dance Challenge (DPADC) in every August to encourage dancers’ growth as a performer!
