We offer classes in the form of ability level and numbered levels in an effort to allow us to offer our Academy students select programming and to make drop-in and weekly classes easy to find. Please reach out if you’d like guidance on class placement.

Dance Ensemble is an opportunity for students taking the required dance classes to have extra opportunities to perform, learn choreography and explore how to create their own choreography (composition). See Dance Ensemble for requirements and performance opportunities!

Action Performance Company is a group of young dancers, singers and actors, ages eleven and older, who perform together several times throughout the year. We perform well-known musicals and create our own original dance and theatre stories. Spring works with each individual to spur growth as artists and performers. We love to tell stories that mean something to us. We take Action on and off the stage by being the best people we can be, by embracing our community and by leading with love to help make our world a better, brighter place for all.

Action will perform in our Holiday Party/Performance, headline in Cinderella ~ A Duke’s Tale and perform in our end-of-year Student Showcase. There may be other opportunities throughout the year, so be on the ready!

Action is a pre-professional youth company. Participation is by audition or invitation. Please reach out to Artistic Director Amber Keeley if you are interested in Action Performance Company.
