The Center’s Performing Arts Department offers music, movement, theater – and more. Our goal is to provide a safe space for folks of all backgrounds and levels to discover the many ways in which they themselves can be the medium of creation.
movement
We explore a broad range of physical expression forms for both youth and adults through programming that includes basic dance techniques, as well as a variety of social and cultural dances. We also offer opportunities to explore mindful movement through mind-and-body practices such as yoga classes.

theater
All the world’s a stage and our theater-related programming allows you to (re)discover your voice, your body, and your connection to others in a real way. Our classes in improv, playwriting, puppetry, and more offer opportunities to tap into the power of our words, how we react to our surroundings, and the practice of being in the moment.

music
Our music program offers voice and instrument skill-building classes, as well as additional courses ranging from music appreciation to learning how to compose and notate your own music. Classes, private lessons, and performing opportunities are offered all year long to fit your busy schedule.
