Respecting each dancers training and abilities, Pantos Project provides a comfortable, encouraging environment for all dancers. With an emphasis on inclusion and acceptance, we thank you for considering Pantos Project Dance as a part of your training!
The PPD MOVERS program is designed to enrich the growing artist’s dance experience. After attending our SUMMER INTENSIVE dancers ages 13+ with exceptional passion, skill, and desire to dive deeper into their training and artistry have been invited to join this program!
PPD provides the MOVERS with a close knit pre-professional dance community to push them to the next level artistically, physically and creatively.
Throughout the season the MOVERS will train with Artistic Director, Kat Pantos and program assistant and company dancer, Kendall Bush.
Through advanced classwork and performance opportunities that include working alongside the professional company, the youth company will merge concert and commercial work in a supportive and passionate environment.
Kat Pantos received her B.S. in Dance Performance and Management from Plymouth State University. Upon graduation, Pantos toured nationally with multiple contemporary dance companies. She has worked with artists such as Robert Battle, Roni Koresh, Amanda Whitworth, & Tommy Neblett, among others. In 2012, Pantos moved to New York City with a vision to expand her artistic library and research. She founded Pantos Project Dance (PPD) and moved the professional company to Boston. PSU featured Pantos as an 'Alumni in the Arts' commissioning PPD for an evening length show. Since the inaugural season, PPD has performed in venues across New England & New York, including Jacob’s Pillow Inside/Out stage. Pantos is sought out for her educational classes and choreography. PPD holds annual intensives and a pre-professional youth program. Pantos choreographs commercial work for studios throughout the New England area and most recently, an adjunct faculty member and guest choreographer at University of New Hampshire, Salve Regina University, and Rhode Island College. Pantos strives to inspire students to develop their own artistic abilities while continuing to advance technically and create choreography that is stimulating to the artist and audience alike.
