Two Ways to Train

Pick Your Path.

Both tracks exist at every age level. Recreational and competitive run side by side — your dancer chooses the commitment level that fits.

Recreational

Train for the love of it.

All styles. All ages. No audition, no season commitment. Come as you are and leave better than you arrived. Our recreational program covers every major discipline taught by coaches who compete professionally.

  • Open to all ages and experience levels
  • Hip hop, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, ballet, and technique
  • Month-to-month — no long-term commitment required
  • Drill team prep available year-round

Competitive

Train for the stage.

Audition required. Five teams competing at nationals across 5 states, Worlds, and Summit Finals. If your dancer has the drive, this is where they find out what they're made of.

  • Teams at every level: Mini, Youth, Junior, Senior
  • National competition program — fees included in monthly tuition
  • Year-round training with guest choreographers
  • SZN III auditions — June 8–10

This is where it goes.

Ages 3–10

Where It Starts.

PDL's youngest classes are designed to build a love for dance before demanding the craft — and the craft follows fast. Small classes, big energy, and coaches who know how to make it real for little ones.

Ages 8–13

Youth classes are where dancing gets serious without losing the fun. Technique, performance quality, and the kind of training that makes competitive teams take notice.
