OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Stratford Performing Arts Academy has been providing quality dance education in the community for over three decades. The school consistently strives for excellence and continues to grow. The highly qualified faculty hail from all backgrounds of collegiate dance education, professional dance companies and Broadway, fitness trainers, professional music backgrounds, artists, model/title winners and psychologists. The school offers classes of all types, from classical dance to hip hop and musical theatre, baby and child oriented programs, creative painting, modeling, fitness classes and ballroom.
Ages three thru adult may enjoy a warm friendly atmosphere with our caring professional faculty, while learning their favorite technique or just having fun. The school offers two types of dance programs, Recreational and Company. Recreational dancers perform in the Holiday and annual June Performance. Company dancers perform not only in the June show, but at numerous competitions and events throughout the season. Our school has also established the 1st Connecticut chapter of the National Dance Honor Society.
Stratford Performing Arts Academy is proud to welcome each and every dancer to their family, and give them the highest quality of education possible. The reinforcement of physical fitness, motor skills, focus and memory, gives children and teenagers the discipline to become a serious student in their academic studies, as well as their dance education, and gives adults a remedy from the “day to day”, and a chance to explore another side of your personality or just perhaps become reacquainted with the old one.
We have been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to share our love the arts with so many talented students throughout the past 30 years. Our motto, “Dance plus Academics equals education”, is also our philosophy. We hope you will be pleased with our programs, and we look forward to a wonderful season with you as a member of our “family”.
Sincerely,
Deborah S. Maida, Director
