Celebrate Dance! Concert 2026

A Showcase of Talent

Join us to see performances from SMAPA's talented Performance Workshop Ensemble (PWE) and other select student classes.

This year's concert will feature new choreographed pieces including Chalvar Monteiro's Lest We Forget and beloved favorites, including Sharron Miller's Praise.

Our concert showcase emphasizes the incredible dedication and artistry of the PWE dancers, who all receive full tuition scholarships for their dance training at SMAPA.

Dance For Everyone

We're also happy to share the talented efforts of students enjoying dance as a means of movement, rhythm, and expression, such as the passionate adult ballet group and Ms. Kristen's creative movement class.

Our holistic philosophy helps students believe they can achieve, and our alumni reflect this sentiment.

Whether the goal is to become a principal dancer of a major company or use creative arts therapy to support children with neurodevelopmental challenges, SMAPA training prepares students of all ages to build skills, foster self-discipline, and bolster self-esteem.
