PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh Dance Ensemble (PDE) will present a blend of jazz, hip-hop, and modern dance in its spring performance, at 8 p.m., April 1 and 2, in the Trees Hall Dance Studio, Allequippa and Darragh streets, Oakland.

The performance, PDE Dance Project, 2005, is choreographed by Pitt students. It also will include Fastracking, a large-ensemble work featuring Dance Ensemble members and local professional dancers, presented by PDE guest choreographer and adjunct faculty member Gina Desko. Fastracking portrays an unusual perspective about race cars, driving, and the motion of the race, using video projection during the performance.

The Dance Ensemble, housed in Pitt's Department of Health and Physical Activity, is a student dance group that performs several genres of dance and offers classes, workshops, and master classes. Tickets for PDE Dance Project, 2005 are $6 for general admission and $3 for students. For more information, call 412-648-8262.
