Dance &
Theatre Classes
Our Dance & Theatre programs begin with the experience of a
Broadway performer and choreographer - PAA’s Creative Director Sarah
Mason.
Whether you are searching for a ballet class for your
3-year-old, or aspiring to train with Emmy
Award-winning performers, PAA
has programs for both recreational and professional dancers of all ages,
levels and interests.
Our
technique classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Musical Theater are
designed for children as young as 3 and for adults
at any age, and they
are taught by faculty who have trained at Broadway Dance Center and with
dance greats such as Dan Karaty, Gelsey Kirkland and Savion Glover.
For
those dancers who desire a greater challenge, our
Studio Companies offer an early
professional experience for dancers while our
Broadway Connection
brings our students together with the world’s
finest dancer’s right here in Potters Mills.

Private Music Instruction
We place great importance on
both learning the correct technique required to play the guitar together
with an understanding of music theory. Our students learn how to read
music and perform selections of Bach and Beethoven while learning how to
play the rhythms and solos of their rock and country favorites. Parents
can hear their kids practicing “Bach’s Minuet in G” along with “Smoke on
the Water” at home. PAA students have many opportunities to perform
throughout the community, whether they are playing classical music at the
Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts or jamming rock-and-roll
classics such as the Beatles “Come Together” or Van Halen’s version of
“You Really Got Me” at PAA’s summer Rock-and-Roll Band Camp. PAA guitar
students have fun as they become experienced guitar players!
Private guitar, bass, voice, dance and theatre instruction
can be scheduled by
calling the office.

New for Summer 2008!
With all of the current movie musicals and dance productions
making a comeback in Hollywood and on Broadway, dancers who can
sing and act (also known as "triple threats") are highly valued
in the industry! Our Stage & Screen classes, which expose
kids to all those great movies and musicals that you love - from
Cats to Newsies...Joseph to Singin' in the Rain... and Evita to
West Side Story! What a great way to improve self-confidence and
learn the skills needed to make it in the "Biz"! And for those
of you who are die hard High School Musical fans, check out our
High School Musical & Me camp this summer!

Studio
Companies
PAA hosts two exciting and hard-working studio companies:
Crunch! Productions and Lumière Studio Company. Auditions are open to
all students over the age of six who are at an intermediate level or
above. Auditions will be held Wednesday, May 21st at PA Academy of the
Arts. Please pick up an audition packet in early May at the studio and
watch for announcements about our informational meeting prior to
auditions.
Crunch II & Lumière II, our exciting new apprentice companies, are open
to students over the age of six who have had at least beginning
experience in tap (Crunch II) and ballet or jazz (Lumière II). This is a
great stepping stone for younger dancers or for dancers who are just
becoming serious about their training. Crunch II & Lumière II will have
the special chance to perform in our exciting fall Broadway Connection
show with our internationally acclaimed guest artists!
