We offer six Dance Ensembles each year, created by guest and faculty choreographers, plus the School Performance Project under the direction of Madeline Cantor.
The six Ensembles each have an audition class to determine entry and are performed in the Spring Dance Concert; these ensembles are generally appropriate for advanced and intermediate level dancers. The School Performance Project performs in Philadelphia schools; students with experience in any forms of dance and who love performing are encouraged to contact Mady Cantor at 610-526-5602 for more information.
The two Ensembles offered in the Fall are Modern Ensemble with Linda Caruso Haviland (me): audition is Wednesday Sept 5 at 4;10 PM in PEM and Lauren Putty White’s Jazz Ensemble. She returns after a two year hiatus to put our dancers through their paces again: audition, Thursday, Sept. 6 at 7:10 PM in PEM. The movement and information session for Mady’s School Project Ensemble is Friday, Sept. 7 at 4:30 in PEM
