The AAPA Dance Department thrives as a vibrant and inclusive community where dreams take flight, bodies find their expressive voice, and the captivating rhythms of dance come alive. Our mission is to provide exceptional dance, artistic, and personal growth opportunities to students in grades K-8, fostering a deep appreciation for the art form and nurturing their unique talents. 
 
With a comprehensive curriculum designed to prioritize the development of our students' dance skills, the AAPA Dance Department is dedicated to cultivating their artistic abilities and fostering personal growth. Through diverse dance styles, technique training, and creative exploration, we empower our students to discover their artistic voice, build strength and grace, and experience the transformative power of movement. Students who are passionate about pursuing excellence in the performing arts can enroll in the AAPA Certification Program.
 
Our department takes great pride in offering numerous performance opportunities, giving our students a stage to showcase their exceptional talents before live audiences. From intimate studio showcases and collaborative performances to grand recitals and community events, these experiences refine their stage presence, build teamwork skills, and establish them as captivating dancers.
 
As we eagerly look ahead to the upcoming school year, we have curated an exciting lineup of dance experiences to empower our students' continued growth and exploration of their artistic potential. Discover our upcoming AAPA Dance Performances and Workshops below, and join us on this extraordinary journey of creative discovery, expression, and the joy of dance.
