WELCOME!
Kelly Perry, Studio Owner, Artistic Director

It has been my dream for many years to open a performing arts studio in my hometown of Newland, NC, where students can study dance, acting, and music all under one roof in a safe and friendly environment. Numerous studies have found that training in the arts benefits young people by helping them develop creative thinking, teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence. With this in mind, it is the mission of Blue Ridge Performing Arts Academy to provide the highest level of artistic education for students in the Avery County area, to enrich their lives, and to help them reach their fullest potential as artists, leaders, and citizens.

We will kick off the 2021-2022 season with an array of summer dance and theater camps for ages 3 to 17. Fall classes will begin on August 30 and loosely follow the Avery County school calendar. The season will conclude with a spring recital, allowing students to demonstrate what they have learned and worked so hard on during the year.
At Blue Ridge Performing Arts Academy we have something for everyone from ages 18 months to adult. We proudly offer instruction in Pre-Ballet, Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Liturgical, Hip Hop, Acting, and Piano. In the years ahead, we hope to build on this base and offer an even wider range of classes. I hope you will join us on our mission to help create tomorrow's leaders through dance and the arts.
