Cuppett Performing Arts Center

We believe all students should receive individual attention based on their specific needs, both physically and emotionally. Our program aims to foster individual creativity, self-confidence and self-discipline, while increasing flexibility, poise and strength, and refining gross motor skills. We strive for integrity in all forms of dance. Our philosophy does not allow for inappropriate choreography, costuming or musical lyrics on children of any age. Our hope is that all of our students, both female and male, will learn to honor their bodies and minds, and have respect for themselves and others.

We are passionate about the dance arts, and are dedicated to showing that passion through our teaching!

Our instructors are the very best in the area, and are either certified through professional dance organizations or have a college degree in dance. Many of our teachers are highly-sought in the Washington, D.C. area but choose to teach exclusively at CPAC. Our amazing year-end recitals, beautiful full-length spring ballet productions, entertaining community performances, and our outstanding community reputation as a whole is a direct result of their professionalism and creativity.
