*PROJECT DANCE *
*2008*
 *May 22 & 23, 2008*
*Project Dance *is a unique performance opportunity that celebrates our
area's most innovative dancers, musicians and choreographers. *Project Dance
* allows student artists of different disciplines, backgrounds and abilities
to collaborate with professional dancers, choreographers and musicians to
celebrate life through dance.  Students learn that dance is not merely a
performing art but is also a means of self-expression.
* *
*The purpose of Project Dance is to increase community awareness of the
importance of including dance in established school curriculums.*

Dancers of all ages and backgrounds are invited to perform. Last year's cast
included over 100 student artists from different middle schools, high
schools, colleges and studios. The festival is proud to provide instruction
and performance opportunities to the most advance dancer to the first-time
performer. We are happy to specialize in instruction for young men and boys
who are involved in musical theatre programs but who have not had formal
training opportunities. Many high school directors who struggle with the
discrepancies between their male and female dancers have found our program
to be beneficial to their needs.

Our staff includes a wide spectrum of professional performing artists. On
staff are members of *Philadanco*, former Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders,
a former professional ballerina with Germany's Coburg Ballet, Barrymore
Award nominees, former St. Joseph's University Dance Team coaches,
Media Theatre's former resident choreographer, in addition to many other
reputable instructors and studio owners from all over the Tri-State
area. *Project
Dance* cast members are afforded the opportunity to collaborate with
reputable artists who possess a wealth of experience.

Project Dance incorporates all types of artists.  Local  bands who have
gained national recognition and are featured on *WMMR's Jaxon Local Shots CD
*, accompany the dance performances, adding a new element to the students'
previous performance experiences.  In addition, outside companies such
as *Fusion's
"Wired," Jazz Unlimited's Dance Ensemble*, *Philanova *and the Nancy *Mulford
Dance Company* have supported the festival as guest performers.  *Interested
choreographers and guest companies should contact cdaniels at pvihs.org prior
to **March 16, 2008**.**  *
* *
Project Dance allows dancers from local dance studios to share their
interests while performing together.  Their time preparing for the festival
results in long lasting friendship with young men and women that share their
similar passion to DANCE!
