About Point Dance Ensemble
PDE is an auditioned ensemble dedicated to promoting the art of dance 
in the Central Wisconsin area through educational dance assemblies, and performances.
Using classical ballet, ethnic, modern, and other popular dance forms, we create educational events appropriate to the diverse cultural backgrounds, and interest levels of modern classrooms.
Company members take part in the choreographic process, overseen by Artistic Directors who serve as mentors encouraging, and guiding the dancers in what is often a new creative opportunity for them. Parents, and members participate in board meetings, and fundraising efforts to give them the full spectrum of the professional dance world.
Sustained through a combination of superb local dance schools, enthusiastic volunteers, and generous community contributions, we provide a professional milieu for young, talented dancers.
Join the Board of Directors.
PDE wants you to participate in the future of your dance ensemble. We meet the first Monday of each month at 6:30 P.M., in the Portage County Library Rotary Room.
PDE is supported in part by
The Stevens Point Arts Council
