Why BROADWAY ARTS CENTER?
If youre considering enrolling your child in a Dance/Theater program, compare us to other dance studios. Were different and it shows in everything we do! Heres how...

We have the MOST creative class curriculum around with classes like Sing & Swing Story Ballet Song & Dance Musical Theater for kids of all ages. All of our childrens dance classes incorporate singing, dancing, drama, arts-crafts, props, costumes, storybooks, games and other surprises to keep them interested and engaged all season long. For students with the drive, talent and discipline, Broadway Arts Center proudly offers a unique program that provides more intense training and additional performance opportunities. We also offer a volunteer mentoring program for our Middle & High School dancers wishing to assist our Master teachers in the classroom.

We are dedicated to providing age-appropriate, positive instruction in a clean, creative, fun environment! And while every student learns fundamental dance skills, we believe its much more than that. Its about teaching children to find their voice and to be heard Its about showing them to be proud of who they are and how to face challenges with courage and grace. Its finding the unique gifts and talents within each child and allowing them to shine! Its about developing positive self-esteem at a young age to carry them through life. And its about having FUN, making new friends and developing a lifelong love and appreciation for the performing arts.

We have many families with dancing siblings, so we know the unique joys and challenges multiple children can be on your schedule (and wallet)! For this reason we have very generous discounts on tuition for siblings. Like many studios, we perform multiple shows at the end of the year, and with so many families the task of arranging siblings together in the same show can be quite difficult! For this reason we have designated which class is in each show on our class schedule at the beginning of the year. So you can know upfront which classes to pick so that your kids are in the same show!

Just as a football player or cheerleader wears a uniform, dancers also require a special uniform to wear to class. This promotes class unity as well as sets the tone of our learning environment. Depending on the class, students will need a specific color/style leotard, tights, and proper dance shoes, long hair must be pulled up in a bun or ponytail, and all jewelry should be removed. Please call the the studio for your class requirements and to arrange for a fitting. For your convience, all required class uniforms will be purchased through Broadway Arts Center to avoid discrepencies in color/style of dance shoes and attire. For more information see the Parent Handbook.
