The Pan-Tones are a music and dance ensemble from Denton, TX. Their performances feature classical music, jazz, cumbia, schottische, hula, polka, cha-cha, and more. This inclusive definition of dance invites movement for people of diverse abilities and backgrounds.
They received a grant from the Greater Denton Arts Council for Dance Night, a monthly event that combines dance instruction and creative movement with live music by the Pan-Tones.
They have shared their interdisciplinary approach at colleges, elementary schools, theaters, concert halls, and arts festivals across Texas, including UT Arlington Opera, Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth, and McKinney Philharmonic.
