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.
