Students, Families, and Friends,
We at Pittsburgh Dance and Theatre Arts would like to inform you that as of February 1st, all classes will be held at 4740 Liberty Avenue, across the street and half a block up from our current location.
We are very happy to be moving to this new space, as it will provide room to grow, and a possibility of our future ownership. As always, we will provide you with the highest quality classes in the best environment.
The lobby area will be somewhat smaller, and it will be necessary to keep it quiet during class times. We do have plans to expand it, as well as make other additional improvements, more towards Summer.
Thank you for your continued support;
Laura A. Hodge
Owner/Artistic Director

Goals and Mission
One of the goals of Pittsburgh Dance Arts and Theatre is to offer an affordable and quality program for the community. The arts are for everyone. The classes we offer are for students beginning at age 3 to professionals, including beginner adults as well. Our students perform at least two productions a year in a local theatre venue, as well as in parades and city-wide events. Students experience the thrill of performing before an audience while learning the practical aspects of theatre. Our Mission is to provide the community with a unique approach and opportunity to study, comprehend, and appreciate, through education and participation, the art of Dance and Theatre, and to enrich the cultural life of the Pittsburgh Region.
