About the Workshop
The Central Pennsylvania Dance Workshop (CPDW) is located at 101 South Fraser Street in downtown State College, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1969 by LaRue Allen, the Central Pennsylvania Dance Workshop continues to provide the highest caliber dance training to our students in a broad range of classes. We are delighted to maintain a tradition of more than 30 years of bringing quality dance instruction to the Centre Region.
The Central Pennsylvania Dance Workshop operates on a semester system, offering a 14-week Fall semester beginning after Labor Day, and a 14-week Spring semester, which begins in January. During May and early June, there is a 5-week intersession, which allows students to explore other dance styles in addition to their customary classes. In the past we have offered such special classes as Aerobics for Dancers, Children's Aerobics, Belly Dancing, Scottish Highland Dancing, Folk Dance, and Partnering. Following the Intersession, CPDW offers a 6-week Summer semester.
The Central Pennsylvania Dance Workshop Mission:
To provide a cultural and creative experience for children and adults through the study of dance.
To teach dance technique with intelligence, providing the serious student with the basis for a professional career.
To increase physical awareness, strength, and grace in the non-professional dancer.
To promote community interest in dance and encourage the growth of an informed audience.
