We have not yet had the opportunity to interview the Point Park University Dance Program, if you are associated with the Point Park University Dance Program please have someone from the program email us at Brittany@BDancewear.com to set up an interview (only takes a few minutes and it’s free).
In the meantime here is some quick insights about this Point Park University Dance Program from their website.
Point Park University’s dance and theatre programs were established in 1968 as part of the Department of Performing Arts, which was later renamed the Department of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts. The department evolved into the Conservatory of Performing Arts (COPA), which became one of the institution’s schools in 2003 when Point Park received university status. COPA currently consists of three departments: dance, theatre and cinema arts. Admission to COPA’s dance and theatre programs is among the most competitive in the nation. In addition to a full-time faculty that possesses outstanding credentials, COPA students also have the opportunity to work with and learn from guest artists, such as , founder and manager of Mosaic Media in Los Angeles, New York Post dance critic Clive Barnes and performance legend Elaine Stritch. Marvin Hamlisch was the 2011 Distinguished Master Artist in Residence. Playhouse Jr. brings children and young adults into the world of imagination through live theatre with fairy tales, modern, and timeless stories adapted for young audiences and classics from children’s literature. The productions are crafted to be family friendly for children of all ages. The second oldest continually running children’s theatre in the nation, Playhouse Jr. is now performing for third generations of Pittsburgh families.
