Duvall Performing Arts
|
Every child should experience
the achievement when the audience applauses. Every person should
feel the accomplishment of mastering a challenging skill. Every
parent can share their child’s fulfillment when they take a bow.
Duvall Performing Arts raises
its curtain with a passionate commitment to its students and service
to the community. Classes are taught by DPA’s dedicated faculty who
will provide professional
technique and training, create countless works of art, and mentor
young people during their first steps of their journey into the
world of performance.
Behind our curtain our goal is
to enrich the lives of aspiring dancers, musicians, theater artists,
and performers. In a nurturing light of lessons learned, roles
performed and friendships forged we will be there to support and
applaud our students and families.
We invite you to come and try a
free class. We hope you will find an enriching and educational
performing arts experience. If creativity is your passion or you
are just trying on the shoes, plan to gain a deeper appreciation for
the arts and yourself.
