From the reviews
What a delight to rehearse and perform with this professional, heart felt and supportive group. The staff guided us with such enthusiasm, caring and attention to detail. So lucky to be a part of this group at this wonderful place.
We feel so incredibly grateful to be part of TPAC. This place has truly allowed our daughter to shine on stage while building her confidence in the most supportive and encouraging environment. She has explored the dance team, theatre programs, and the singing troupe—and has absolutely loved every single experience.
We’ve had such a positive experience at TPAC. My daughter started with the summer program, quickly fell in love with it, and now participates in dance team and musicals. Over time, I’ve truly seen her confidence grow, which I credit to the warmth, encouragement, and dedication of the teachers.
My 5 year old daughter is having an amazing time at TPAC. I was so happy to hear how they were willing and happy to accommodate someone with ADHD who sometimes needed a little extra help or a break. They are so warm and welcoming, and my daughter has discovered a love of musical theater through their camps and classes.
Your first ballet class at The Performing Arts Connection
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
