PCPA Dancer Joins Heat Force
Julia has been dancing with us since 2013. She was one of the founding members of our performance teams and we have seen her grow up into a beautiful dancer. Last year she was invited to tour with Heat Convention’s Pre-Professional Dance Company, Heat Force.
She accepted and will be at a few of their conventions across the country as well as at their nationals later this Summer all while continuing to meet her responsibilities for our teams here at PCPA. Not an easy feat!
We are super proud of you, Julia!
Keep up the good work!
A Place to Belong
Our community is built on the belief that the arts bring people together. Students become part of a supportive and inclusive family where they can thrive, share, and grow.
PCPA is an amazing dance studio that accepted my daughter as a person who liked to dance and transformed her into a beautiful confident dancer who LOVES to perform & compete.
More Than Just Performing
We foster growth beyond the stage—instilling life skills like discipline, resilience, and teamwork, ensuring that every student walks away with confidence both in their art and in themselves.
Inspiring Lifelong Passion
Whether your child dreams of performing on stage or is just exploring a love for the arts, our programs are designed to cultivate a lifelong passion for creativity.
Want to dance without performing? Our recitals are optional.
