Dance, Music, & Theatre are cornerstones of the performing arts; and we offer all three at The Academy of Performing Arts (APA), in Oak Creek and Franklin, Wisconsin!
At APA, students with a desire for further arts enrichment and a truly well-rounded performing arts education are invited to enter our “Accelerated Performing Artists” program!
This program consists of APA students who dedicate themselves to taking classes in all three of our foundational programs: Dance, Music, & Theatre.
Which APA Classes Fit Into The 3 Categories?
- Dance: Group Recreational Dance Classes or Competitive/Technical Dance class or team.
- Music: Private Music lessons, or group Tiny Tunes, Glee Pop Choir/Jr, or Music Jr., or Musical Theatre/Jr
- Theater: Drama, Drama Jr, Musical Theatre/Jr class, or a Musical/Play (*The 6 Week Summer musical does not count).
How Do I Enter This Program?
Students who are enrolled in classes in all three APA programs for at least 5 months (at least half of a full 10-month school year session / a full Fall or Spring Session *excluding summer*), are eligible for this program.
Our staff will do our best to notify students who already meet these requirements, and to track students as they do meet them. But, if you know you are enrolling in a class that would move you into the program, please notify us so we are sure to give your student the appropriate recognition!
What Does My Student Gain From The “Accelerated Performing Artists” Program?
Students who participate in this program will not only receive the benefit of a well-rounded performing arts education, they will also receive the following benefits:
- A multiclass discount off your APA tuition of 20% off your second class and 30% off your third class! *excludes private lessons & musicals/plays*
