The FALL EXPERIENCE Programs and Classes

  PROGRAM I: ROLLING Semester

• Saturday, October 10th begins PPA's semester classes. The curriculum designed, specifically for ages 6-11, provides various performing arts tracks. We also have a rolling semester class for adults. Classes in Dance, Cultural Roots Dance, Theater Arts, and Grown-Up Moves, all offer a 12-week semester divided into three, 4-week sessions. Each session provides a different style or focus of the discipline, and enrollment can be for 1, 2 or all 3 sessions. 

PROGRAM II: STANDARD Semester

• PPA's foundational classes, are for more advanced students, ages 12 and older, and are an important part of our Saturday programming. These classes provide continued exposure to the performing arts in addition to advanced training.  The program offers a curriculum that lays the foundation for a student’s consistent technical development, and artistic, creative, and stylistic exploration.  Classes in West African Dance and West African Drumming, Jazz and Modern Dance, Ballet, TEEN Hip Hop, Broadway Dance, Boyz2Men Dance Fitness, STEP, Building the Actor and SING Out are the springboard for  a student’s talent, progress and potential.  The intention of each class is to balance a student’s acquired technical skills with their creative and artistic understanding while challenging them to challenge themselves. We hope that all class experiences are the building block for future study while developing a student’s confidence and empowering them in their ability and capability.
