Common Questions
Everything you need to know before registering for a PDC workshop.
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.
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.
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.
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 Katie, Sarah, and/or our guest faculty.
All PDC workshops are led directly by Katie and Sarah, both former Radio City Rockettes. The Industry Experience and select other programs also feature working industry guest faculty — casting directors, agents, and choreographers.
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.
Yes — PDC Essentials, The Kick Collective, and The Industry Experience all offer both in-person and virtual registration options.
