Philly's Got Dance Foundation
Why Bring PGD Into Your School?
Safe & Structured: We keep kids engaged after school with a clear routine.
Academic Support: Homework help and reading time come first — then it’s time to move.
Dance + STEM (Future Expansion): Dance teaches patterns, rhythm, and sequencing — the same skills behind math, coding, and science. PGD is exploring ways to connect movement to STEM learning so students grow as both dancers and thinkers.
Cultural Relevance: We bring a style that speaks to Philly — hip-hop, jazz, and ballet taught with respect for history, creativity, and urban culture.
Social-Emotional Growth: Dance helps students find their voice, work in teams, and gain confidence they carry back into the classroom.
