The 2009-2010 dance season is quickly approaching! This year, we are in our new studio in the Core Building of Providence Creek Academy Charter School. Ballet registration will be on Wednesday, September 2nd from 5pm-7pm in the new studio. 

The fall schedule and tuition are posted! We will also be running a uniform exchange on the lawn on September 2nd. Plastic grocery bags will be sold for $5, and what you can put in the bag is yours!

Providence Creek Academy Ballet Theater began as a part of the 2004 Learning Enrichment Activities Program (LEAP) with an introductory ballet class. In the fall 2004, the LEAP ballet program continued with the start of the new school year. The dancers officially performed for the first time in the Holiday Concert for grades K-3. In years following, the program continued to grow and expand. By the 2008 season, PCABT offered ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe classes in its small hallway studio. PCABT also performed its first storybook ballet, Peter and the Wolf at the conclusion of the 2008 season.

This year, we are proud to announce the addition of special needs and preschool classes to the curriculum. The curriculum gives students solid training in classical ballet as well as experience and training in theater productions and etiquette.

We are also very excited to announce the opening of our new studio on the recently constructed campus of Providence Creek Academy Charter School. The spacious new studio measures 24’x50’, has a state of the art sprung floor, new mirrors, new barres, and storage space. During the 2010 season, dancers will perform in PCA’s new auditorium for the first time.
