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 2022-2023 season with an array of summer dance camps for ages 3 to 17. Fall classes will begin on August 22 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 provide dance and music lessons for children ages 24 months thru 12th grade. We proudly offer instruction in Pre-Ballet, Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Liturgical, Hip Hop, Piano, and Voice. In the years ahead, we hope to build on this base and offer an even wider array of classes. I hope you will join us on our mission to help create tomorrow's leaders through dance and the arts.
