The Pluck Project's main goals are to prepare the senior contemporary dance class with the necessary skills to transition from students to professional artists, and create networking opportunities that expose the graduating class to choreographers, artistic directors, and artists currently working in the dance industry. Guided by their faculty, the fourth-year class experiences what it means to produce their own showcase, including the behind-the-scenes logistics involved with running a dance company and the artistic challenges of their choreographic projects. The showcase presented in New York in the Spring of 2023, will consist of self-choreographed solos and a group work by Igal Perry, artistic director of Peridance Contemporary Dance Company.

While many of the learning opportunities in the Pluck Project are mainly geared towards a dance career, many of the skills the students are acquiring can be transferred to their daily lives and other fields of interest. The Pluck Project hopes to build a bridge from college to the professional world, no matter the direction of the individual's career.
