Patel Conservatory Dance Program
The Patel Conservatory Dance Department, official school of Next Generation Ballet (NGB), offers instruction for both pre-professional training and enrichment for students from age 3 through college.
NGB prepares serious young dancers for professional employment through instruction, coaching and performance opportunities. Under the direction of Peter Stark, Chair of the Dance Department and internationally renowned coach of ballet wunderkinds, the PCYB disciplined course of study enables students to grow from creative movement to major performing opportunities at the Straz Center including The Nutcracker, and in Spring 2012, Swan Lake.
The Community Dance Classes are for young people and adults, both the newcomer as well as the more experienced, who want to increase their level of physical fitness, artistic expression and appreciation in ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, hip-hop, flamenco and stretch and strength.
