Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre

The Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre (PTDT) is a post-modern, contemporary dance company based in Davis at the Pamela Trokanski Dance Workshop, and the "parent company" for The Third Stage, a multi-generational contemporary dance company. Since their first concert in the spring of 1985, the company has presented fall and spring concerts each year in Davis. In addition, they have performed throughout Northern California, including Sacramento, San Francisco, and Nevada City. 

In addition to their concert series, the PTDT also presents lectures and demonstrations for elementary school children. "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Moving," "Athleticism and Dance," and "The Art of Dancing Art," have been funded, at various times, by the City of Davis’ Arts Contract program, US Bank, Davis Waste Removal, and the PTDT. These programs have been providing movement education to "standing room only" audiences since 1994.
