Meet Our Faculty

Our incredible staff makes Center for the Performing Arts stand out from the rest! These highly-trained dance professionals are experienced in their field, but more importantly, they know how to effectively communicate and teach in a nurturing environment.

At CPA, our students' safety is paramount, which is why all of our instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, AED Defibrillators, and the emergency administration of an EpiPen®.
