| Performing Troupe Founded in 2008 at the Ashburn Creative Dance Center, CDC's Performing Troupe (CDC*PT) was designed as a dance training and performance program for dancers who enjoy performing locally at a variety of community events. It continues to thrive in its fourth year. Although performance requests and opportunities may vary each year, the CDC*PT Staff of eight professional instructors and choreographers currently produce dances for approximately eight annual performances each season. Recent performance venues have included Dulles Towne Center, Frederick Keys Baseball Games, YouthFest Brambleton, Grand Opening Ceremony of Bolen Park Leesburg, Brambleton Battle of the Bands, Leisure World Lansdowne, and Cascades Senior Center. Requests for appearances are welcomed and may be directed to the Artistic Director at directorpt@gmail.com or through the Creative Dance Center Studio Ashburn at 703-724-4900. The CDC*PT consists of approximately 30 dancers ranging in age from 7 to 14. PT dancers attend class 5 ¬‡ hours per week in jazz, tap, lyrical and ballet but may also study other disciplines such as contemporary, hip hop, and musical theater seasonally. Dancers attend an annual week-long choreographic summer camp and the occasional extra rehearsal as needed to prepare prior to performance. Private instruction and choreography is available as well. Annual CDC*PT Auditions are held in June, but the studio welcomes year round auditions by appointment. Both male and female dancers, age 7 and older with a minimum of three full years of dance training, are encouraged to audition. Interested applicants should contact Creative Dance Center Studio Ashburn at 703-724-4900. |
