PDP (Potential Development Program)
Price On RequestThe Potential Development Program-the PDP, is of shorter
duration, offering 2 levels (PDP 1,2) and a less intensive syllabus as compared
to the Diploma in Dance (DID) courses. The PDP course offers a blend of the
Modern forms, with some basics of all techniques. It follows a structured
syllabus, progressive in nature, (as it offers 2 levels) with increasing
intensity and difficulty levels. The PDP course, as the very name suggests, is
aimed at exploiting the 'potential' of certain students who show capabilities
of achieving higher standards in the learning of dance. The PDP candidate will
thus require some prior experience in all dance form at a basic level. The PDP
candidate may thus be picked from amongst our own students, learning under the
various classes run under the Gana Natraj, for eg from Dance Camp, Monsoon
Blast, the Gana Natraj Open Classes, etc. However, students from other classes
outside of the Gana Natraj banner are also welcome to the PDP as long as they
meet up with the required class level, as the PDP classes will function at a
slightly more accelerated pace than that of an open or basic level class. No
audition is required for the PDP candidate if selected by the Gana Natraj
instructors themselves, from any of our existing classes, as we would thus
already be aware of the student's abilities and experience levels. If the
candidate is however a new comer to the Academy, then he/ she may do a trial
class and the instructor will then decide if he/she has the required level or
not. The PDP will be the ideal option for those dance lovers who are still
studying or working or cannot commit all of their time to dance but who may
still be passionate about learning all dance form at a slightly higher and more
intensive level.
