IDT AXiS Performance Groups

“Dancing allows me to explore myself in so many ways, to learn about my limitations and strengths, my ability to cope with adversity and to go farther than I thought I could. You find out what you’re made of.”

What is IDTPG?                                  

IDT Performance Groups are comprised of IDT student dancers, along with their parents, who are committed to a heightened level of training and performing.   Students benefit from the camaraderie of being part of a 'team' and are mentored by teachers and choreographers. Competition is not the goal of the program although we do perform at competitions in addition to performance concert settings.   At these competitions, dancers are not competing against other dancers, but training through performance to improve their own personal technique and performance quality (or as a group).  Feedback from judges is reviewed together with their teachers to improve each time a piece is performed. Students have the opportunity to observe students, dancers and styles from all over at both competitions and while in class alongside them at convention weekends, taught by guest and master teachers from all over the country and abroad. Through these experiences, students gain education and inspiration! Not only are our children receiving excellent dance education, but are also building lifelong memories that help to shape whom they will grow to be as individuals.  Many students are accepted into college dance programs and companies upon completing their senior year at IDT, but whether or not they choose to dance in college or professionally, the lessons learned through the discipline and art of dance will overflow into all facets of their life. Grace, beauty and strength- usually with a profound attention to detail are just some of the gifts that a healthy dance training environment can bring.
