Why Enroll in Dance, Music, and Theater Classes?
Enrolling your child (or even yourself!) in a dance class is a great way to build self-esteem, make lifelong friendships, and have fun! While competition is a part of who we are, growth and personal development are the main priorities of our music and dance classes. Explore our classes near North Phoenix and start tap dancing, jazz dancing, hip hop dancing, and more!
BUILD SELF-ESTEEM
Movement and rhythm come naturally to children. Bender Performing Arts (BPA) provides a safe, energetic, and fun environment designed to empower students to naturally express themselves through dance, music, theater, or any combination of classes! Nurturing self-expression increases self-confidence, problem-solving, joy, and a sense of belonging while also developing important life skills.
MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS
While students are working hard and having fun learning new dance steps, they’re also learning how to be part of a team and bonding over shared goals and accomplishments. Many friendships formed in music and dance classes last into adulthood, and the positive effects of these early connections help provide children stability as they grow.
HAVE FUN!
Having fun should really be first on the list but we’ve saved the best for last! Our educators genuinely care for each and every student. In fact, most of them were once students at our dance school! Our kids dance classes focus on a culture of fun, excellence, and creativity, making BPA the premier Phoenix performing arts studio for musical theater, music, and dance classes.
Experience why our reputation for excellence and dance classes has endured for nearly 50 years.
