Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know before registering for a PDC workshop.

Who are these workshops for?

PDC workshops are designed for pre-professional and professional dancers looking to refine their craft. We recommend that dancers have approximately 5–7 years of intermediate-to-advanced training and are age 17+ for The Performance Collective and age 16+ for all other workshops.

Younger dancers with a strong foundation in ballet, tap, and jazz may be considered for select workshops on a case-by-case basis.

Do I need a specific dance background?

A strong foundation in ballet, tap, or jazz is recommended. Our workshops are rooted in precision technique, so prior technical training will help you get the most out of the experience.

Are these workshops only for dancers pursuing the Rockette path?

Not at all. The technical foundation we teach — precision, clarity, performance presence — translates directly to theater, film, and commercial work. Our training builds skills that transfer across the industry.

Will I get individual feedback?

Yes. Every PDC workshop includes individualized 1:1 feedback for each dancer. Group sizes are intentionally kept small to ensure each dancer receives focused attention from Sarah, Katie, and/or our guest faculty.

Who is teaching?

All PDC workshops are led directly by Sarah and Katie, both former Radio City Rockettes. The Industry Experience and select other programs also feature working industry guest faculty — casting directors, agents, and choreographers.

What should I wear and bring?

Form-fitting dance wear, tap shoes (heels preferred but not required), character heels (for jazz/precision), and ballet shoes. Bring water, a notebook for taking notes, and snacks for breaks. Specific recommendations are shared with registered participants closer to each workshop.

Where is PDC Essentials held?

PDC Essentials (October 17–18 and December 5–6, 2026) is held at Gibney, 280 Broadway in Lower Manhattan. Enter at 53A Chambers Street, New York, NY 10007; the building is accessible by elevator from that entrance. Nearby subway stations include Chambers Street (A, C; 1, 2, 3), World Trade Center (E, R) and Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall (4, 5, 6).

Is virtual registration available?

Yes — PDC Essentials, Kick Collective, and The Industry Experience all offer both in-person and virtual registration options. Virtual participants receive instruction, choreography, and individualized feedback. The Performance Collective and Audition Essentials are in-person only due to their immersive, hands-on nature.

Are payment plans available?

A payment plan is available for The Performance Collective only. Payment for all other workshops is due at the time of registration.

What's your cancellation and refund policy?

PDC Essentials, Audition Essentials, and Kick Collective are fully refundable up to one week prior to the workshop start date. The Industry Experience is fully refundable up to two weeks prior to the workshop start date.

The Performance Collective requires a 50% non-refundable deposit upon registration. The remaining balance becomes non-refundable beginning February 1 of each year.

Do you offer scholarships?

Yes. To date, PDC has awarded more than $45,000 in scholarships since 2022. Dancers are eligible to receive scholarships toward PDC Essentials, The Industry Experience, and/or The Performance Collective each year.

How do I redeem a scholarship received through a competition or convention?

To redeem your scholarship, please email admin@precisiondancecollective.com with your name (or the dancer's name if you're registering on their behalf), the city where the scholarship was awarded, and a photo or scanned copy of the scholarship certificate.

For Studio Owners

Bring PDC to Your Studio

PDC's founders travel to studios across the country to lead custom workshops, masterclasses, and intensives — tailored to your dancers' level and goals. Your dancers leave their next audition with a measurable edge, equipped with the precision, confidence, and industry insight that define professional-level performance.

  • Custom curriculum built around your studio's needs
  • Workshop, masterclass, intensive, or audition-prep formats
  • Led directly by PDC's founding faculty (former Radio City Rockettes)
  • 1, 2, or 3 days, with classes of 60, 90, or 120 minutes
  • Rates based on the number of days, the number of classes, and class length

Workshop Class Options

All workshops are curated specifically for each studio, built from these classes.

  • PDC Core Concepts

    A two-hour introduction to the building blocks of precision dance — pathways, bevels, angles, formations, musicality, and eye-high kicks — through tap and jazz. For dancers ages 10+ with a strong foundation in tap, jazz, and ballet.

  • Precision Tap

    Sarah’s approach to tap: technical clarity, rhythm, style, and musical precision, with pathways and transitions treated as seriously as the choreography itself.

  • Ballet Technique

    Katie’s approach to ballet, built to support the movement quality, alignment, and technical demands of precision dance. Barre to center, or fully barre-based.

  • Precision Jazz

    Clarity, synchronization, musicality, pathways, spacing, and performance quality, taught through the lens of precision dance training and choreography.

  • Kick Collective Class

    A studio class that breaks down bevels, hooking up, and the styles of kicks used in precision dance, with the technique and strength to execute them safely and effectively.

  • Progressions

    Across-the-floor combinations and short phrase work that help dancers recognize patterns, transitions, pathways, and directional changes at varying tempos.

  • Strength Collective

    A 60-minute class that builds the strength, stamina, and muscular endurance that technical training demands, supporting dancer health and longevity and reducing the risk of injury.

  • Mock Audition

    Audition-style combinations and exercises inspired by a professional audition, focused on clarity, consistency, musicality, confidence, and performance under pressure, with individualized feedback.
