What We Do
Established in 2022, Pitt County Performing Arts aims to serve the Pitt County community, providing youth recreational classes to students ages 1.5-13. No matter dance experience or abilities, PCPA has a class for your student! We strive to cultivate a supportive, inviting, and open environment to foster a student’s love of the arts.
Using dance and arts education, we hope to encourage children to grow in their self-confidence, teamwork abilities, creativity, and fitness.
Our instructors have many years of dance and instructional experience and work to provide individualized dance instruction to fit the diverse and everchanging needs of our students.
We look forward to welcoming you and your student in one of our future classes!
Participants in youth dance experiences described benefits across four main areas including sport-related skills, positive identity, social competencies and positive values (Schaillée et al., 2017)
Arts activities have been seen to improve emotional and social intelligence (Grafton, 2009)
After school dance programming was seen to improve student self-management and relationship skills (Pereira et al., 2017)
Dance participation was observed to activate many pathways in the action observation network of the brain, improving memory (Calvo-Merino et al., 2005)
