What's New at PDT?!
Pasadena Dance Theatre’s Summer Intensives offer rigorous, inspiring training for dancers seeking to grow in both technique and artistry. Designed for a range of levels, the program features daily classes in ballet, contemporary, pointe, conditioning, and more!
A joyful introduction to dance! Young movers explore ballet basics, musical theater, creative games, and performance skills in a fun, nurturing environment. Each camp ends with a small showcase so families can see what their dancers have learned. Perfect for sparking imagination, confidence, and a love of movement!
Congratulations to our talented PDT student choreographers and dancers for their powerful work in this year’s Développé Concert!!

Dear PDT Community,
Pasadena Dance Theatre is heartbroken by the devastation that has inflicted so many within the community. Our artists, families, staff, and supporters have been impacted by the tragic loss of their homes, widespread evacuations, the ongoing risks of wildfire, and hazardous smoke. Many of our PDT families have been directly affected and have lost their homes. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you during this overwhelming time.
Both our Board President, Jessica Maker-Bilandzija & Vice President Nancy Schmeider have lost their homes, as well as dancer families Mimi Austad & Iris Dean. We know there are more of you, If you have any information about additional PDT families that have lost their home or a link to their GoFundMe page please send to us so we can help support them:
