DANCE
Come to The Center and be yourself!
DANCE at the CTA
The Center for Theater Arts is proud to offer a robust non-competitive dance program, serving students in our Junior, Student and High School Divisions.
Our dance programs focus on quality instruction, skill development, strength, technique, and conditioning. Young performers of all ages thrive in our programs with teachers who provide differentiated instruction to help all students reach their full potential.
All dance classes perform as a part of our end-of-year showcases at Mellon Middle School.
