Teen/Adult Program

Ballet & Pointe
Ballet is the basis for all the other dance forms, and we offer excellent training for all ages. Our program features Pointe classes for women and girls (over the age of 12 who are physically ready), and our Pilates-based stretching and strengthening Ballet Workout classes.

Our jazz-based Hip-Hop is the popular dance style you see on music videos and in pop concerts. Our teachers regularly work with the best choreographers in the nation, and they even keep it "clean" so parents are happy!

Social Dance & Ballroom
Why should the kids have all the fun? Imagine gliding across the floor in your sweetheart's arms, cutting a rug to Benny Goodman or Brian Setzer, or two-stepping the night away to your country favorites. PAA offers Social Dance & Ballroom classes designed to teach adults to dance... HAVE FUN! We teach basic partnering and all the great moves you'll need to twirl the night away. We'll even teach you to slow dance with the grace of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Classes are quick enough to keep it movin' and slow enough to allow for plenty of practice time. Don't think you have enough rhythm? Don't worry -- if you can walk, you can dance!
