The Dance Department of the Peabody Preparatory is one of the oldest continuously- operating dance training centers in the United States. Starting with the first class in eurythmics oˆered in 1914, and throughout its remarkable life span, Preparatory Dance has pioneered new dance forms, mounted numerous collaborative projects, partnered with prominent figures in 20th and 21st century American dance, and produced accomplished professional dancers, choreographers, directors, and teachers.

Under the leadership of Melissa Staˆord and the guidance of the revered Barbara Weisberger, artistic adviser emeritus, Preparatory Dance is keeping in step with the progression of American dance into the 21st century. The department remains committed to: oˆering high-quality dance training for students of all levels age 3 to adult; presenting imaginative professional-level performances; oˆering pre-professional ballet and modern dance summer intensives; partnering with our community through master classes, seminars, workshops, and other dance events — most oˆered free of charge; and training and supporting male dancers through the ground-breaking Estelle Dennis/Peabody Dance Training Program for Boys.

Please note that any kind of personal video recording, audio recording, or photography is now strictly prohibited at our concerts. Since Peabody has recently updated the video capabilities in Friedberg Hall, we are excited to be able to oˆer a free concert video of our Spring Showcase. All Preparatory Dance families will be emailed a link after today’s concert with instructions on how to access the video, including details about the permissions for usage.
