Give A Student the Gift of Dance this Holiday Season!
At SMAPA, every student who walks through our doors is given the opportunity to build confidence, creativity, and community in our halls.
This holiday season, we ask you to consider opening that door for a dancer.
Your donation funds scholarships and tuition assistance for students to experience high-quality instruction in dance and performing arts at SMAPA regardless of financial means.
Whether a 3-year-old starting their dance journey in Creative Movement, a senior finding their strength & peers in our free Senior Fitness classes, or a pre-professional teen building skills in the Performance Workshop Ensemble, we have dance for every body at every stage of life.
Your gift can make a lasting impact in the lives of these students. Give the gift of dance, today.
