Welcome to the Monadnock Performing Arts Academy.
MPAA is a training ground for the disciplines of Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and
Modern Dance. The Academy's program also includes Musical Theatre,
Hip-Hop, Voice, Break Dancing, African, Kindergymnastics, Acrobatics, Yoga, Boys Classes, and Acting Classes.
MPAA is also the home to a Dance Perfomance Company. MPAA
offers additional opportunities for the serious dancer. This program is
by invitation only. Members nust be enrolled in at least 3 dance classes
per week at the Academy. Performances include a Winter Concert, Children
and the Arts, Plymouth State College Dance Premier, Children & the Arts
Festival and more. Volunteering and fundraising is required of all Company
dancers and parents.
The Academy has a wonderful Creative Dance program
for four and five year olds. Students six and seven years of age may choose
a Ballet/Tap/Jazz combo class. These classes are
designed to introduce and encourage Ballet as an integral part of dance.
Our program is designed so that children can progress
smoothly from the Creative Dance level through the Advanced Level. It is
the goal of the Academy to provide quality instruction to the novice as
well as the seroius dance student. Each student is encouraged to discover
his or her own talents in a positive, non-competitive atmosphere.
Fitness, grace, self-discipline and
personal accomplishmentare just
a few of the many benefits that dance provides. The Arts have been proven
time and again to help students with academic achievement as well.
The Musical Theatre program
introduces students to singing, dancing, and acting skills necessary for
the musical theater stage.
Acting Workshop Classes introduce students to acting skills necessary for the stage,
film, TV and the all important "Audition"
MPAAalso offers classes for adults and teenagers new to dance. Please review our
schedule
Monadnock Dance Apparel The Academy has a great store located on the premises filled
with all your dance wear needs! Orders taken daily for any specialty items
you may need!
[Please call for store hours]
There is an ongoing program from September, thru
to June, culminating in a wonderful year-end performance. It is hoped that
each student commits to a class every week for the school year in order
to prepare for their performance. Proper strength, technique, and progress
cannot be achieved without this commitment!
MPAA is proud to serve the Monadnock Community and is actively involved in supporting the Arts for
children and adults through scholarship, donations, and volunteering. |
