Peninsula School of Performing Arts was formed to bring high quality dance to children and adults in the Peninsula and South Bay areas. Beginning with Pre-Ballet then BAT (Ballet, Acrobatics and Tap), children are given a strong foundation of dance techniques mixed with creative movement and dramatic expression. At age 7, the program expands to include full ballet classes and jazz. Based on the knowledge that ballet is necessary for all dancers, we encourage everyone to stay in ballet throughout their dance training. For those students who show a talent and love of ballet, we offer a full ballet program from elementary to professional level. In addition, serious ballet students ages 11 and up are considered for our affiliate ballet company, Dance Peninsula Ballet, Patricia Stander Artistic Director. DPB is a member of Regional Dance America/Pacific and consists of about 30 junior, apprentice, and senior members. Auditions are held in July and September, when we also audition our annual production of The Nutcracker. Adults and children (ages 5 and up) are encouraged to participate in this annual family production. Switching gears, we present.. Electric Youth

talented group of young jazz and tap dancers. These
