The primary activity of The Performing Arts Repertory Company (PARC) is the performance of workshop demonstrations in public and private schools as an opportunity to expose children of all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to the genre of performing arts.

Education and Outreach

The performing company travels to schools in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties to participate in Parent Teachers Association (PTA) sponsored fine arts workshops, performing costumed dance pieces and instructing workshop participants in the basics of movement performance. PARC repertory dancers perform at school wide assemblies throughout the State of Maryland.
