About Principal Creative & Performing Arts

Principal Creative & Performing Arts (PCPA) is a dance studio that offers an incredible experience for children, from their first classes through competitive teams. Many families have been coming for years, with some starting in the Small Fry Dance Club program for littles, which includes Music & Movement incorporating tap, jazz, and ballet. Students then graduate to the big kids' program. The studio is truly amazing, with teachers who are kind, helpful, very energetic, creative, and skillful. They drill in cool tricks and provide a wonderful group environment. The studio has given students so much confidence, helping them blossom into outstanding performers. Many students have a full dance schedule, dancing almost every day on teams like Jazz competitive and Musical Theater comp. The recitals are an incredible experience that are so skillfully put together and managed to keep everyone enthusiastic and on track. The teams have won numerous awards and scholarships and are always supportive of each other. The organization is admired, making things happen even during hard times like Covid, keeping students moving, focused, and enthusiastic. Parents feel listened to and their children feel very happy and comfortable, which is priceless. The overall experience is wonderful.

    Very supportive, professional, and caring about their students and their particular talents and needs. I highly recommend PCPA. The commitment of every single instructor is outstanding, without mention the how personal they take to walk every student to success.

    We love PCPA. Our 8 year old daughter has been dancing with PCPA since she was a toddler at Small Fry. PCPA (and Small Fry) teachers and staff truly care about their students... they care about their growth as dancers, athletes and also their emotional wellbeing. My husband and I have noticed our daughter’s technical growth and the growth of her self esteem. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful and supportive studio in our community. 💜❤️💜

    It’s been an incredible experience watching my daughter grow and blossom over the past 7 years, first at Small Fry and now PCPA. Jana & Carlos are dedicated to the craft and to the community.
