Spring & Summer Youth Ballet

(Pictured: Cast of “Fairy Isle” with Director Dede Recko)

Our Youth Ballet program holds two sessions each year, spring and summer. It is a performance based workshop specially designed for dancers who have a love of ballet and a strong desire to improve their technique and performance skills. Students learn an original mini-ballet directed and choreographed by our own Dede Recko. Performances are held in PMD’s own performance space.

This spring our Youth Ballet students performed “Fairy Isle”.

The Summer Youth Ballet program performed “Annie’s Dancing Day” on Friday August 14, 2009.
