General Info

Philadelphia Dance Theatre is the region's premier classical ballet school and performing company. Under the direction of Joy Delaney Capponi the school provides exceptional dance training for beginner through pre-professional students. Alumni have gone on to study with internationally recognized schools. PDT'S performing company presents an acclaimed Nutcracker each December and a new works each spring. Our program is designed to treasure the process of learning. Some programs offer a "fun and no stress approach, " other programs offer "training for the serious dancer." PDT's philosophy is that learning is pleasurable, whether there is a desire to dance professionally or for recreation. The exposure to the arts and discipline that dance instills is an invaluable asset for all. It is through a consistent approach to mastering technique that the young dancer will obtain the tools necessary to reveal their individual artistry. All instructors are qualified adults. Some schools use students to teach younger children in an effort to cut costs. It is imperative that all the instructors are qualified adults and are able to attend to the individual developmental needs of the growing dancer. At PDT all of our instructors have professional experience, some are still currently performing and many have college degrees or supplemental education in dance and education. Our school promotes a positive environment with a dedicated interest to the needs of young children, while instilling in older students a sense of responsibility to mentor to the developing younger performers. Whether the dancer desires a professional career that requires steady attention or a recreational activity that is constructive and engaging, PDT can meet the individual dancer's need.
