Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre

Time goes fast! This year is our 40th season of Dance in Davis...

We've got our upcoming season dates, so mark your calendars now!

We've just finished up our fall performances with great audiences, including many former PTDT dancers from other decades!

We have two more to go, so save the dates!

Davis Dance Project, Saturday and Sunday, March 1 and 2.

Spring Concert, Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4. The title is Pressing Restart

​

In addition, Pamela was recently interviewed by Tim Gaffaney of Davis Media Access on his show In The Studio about her 40 years of dance in Davis. Here's a link if you'd like to find out more:

​

This year, Pamela especially wanted to thank the PTDT Board of Directors for all of their work on our new scholarship program. (And also thank the Yolo Community Foundation for hosting this kind of event!)

Yes, we're celebrating 40 years of dance... and we've added a portfolio page!

For dancers who worked with the company decades ago, and for audience members who are just finding out about us, here's a peek at some of our history which stretches over 4 decades. Every week we'll be releasing a video clip as part of our year-long celebration. Just click on the menu tab labeled 40 Years of Dance and find several seasons already loaded.

​

In addition, if you are one of our former dancers or if you know one, please let them know that we're reaching out to reconnect and thank them for their part of the journey. Former dancers who would like to be on our 40th Anniversary Celebration email list should email the office at office@trokanski.com and ask to be included on that list.

​

We've also set a date for our Anniversary Celebration. On Saturday, April 5, 2025, we have time for a "Pre-Party" gathering of dancers and board members and then we'll open everything up to the community to come and look at 40 years of photos, costumes, and more, including Fabio :))

And regarding our evolution as a company...

We believe in dance and multiple art forms as tools for physical and mental well-being, academic enrichment, and to support a thriving and connected community. And we want to Thank Everyone who helped us raise $14,432 last year!

Your support on the Big Day of Giving helps us maintain and grow our programs which, in addition to premiering new works in concert for 39 years, include our Dance For Parkinson's program which provides free movement classes for people living with Parkinson's Disease and their caregivers, our Second Wind Dance program which provide free classes for adults 65 and older, our week-long summer camp for school-age children 6 - 12 that uses movement and visual arts for academic enrichment in reading and writing, the Annual Davis Dance Project that produces collaborative community performances with free tickets for children 12 and younger, and our Dance in Public Places program with free classes for the community to learn dances and perform with the companies in public. Also, this year we began a scholarship program providing opportunities for community members for whom dance training may not fit the family budget.
