About Us
Sonshine Performing Arts Academy opened its doors in 1976 with one room and 36 students. After many moves and growth opportunities, we now boast nearly 500 students at our 8,400 square foot facility that includes movable walls and fully operational stage.
Sonshine offers classes in classical ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, lyrical, musical theater, tumbling and technique/conditioning. Opportunities for private lessons are available in all of the above dance disciplines as well as pageantry, liturgical, dance team, and many more. Call to see how we can assist you with your group or individual needs.
Classes
Wee Ones
A supportive, engaging environment to facilitate connections and to encourage physical, mental and social growth in children ages 18 months to 3 years old. This is an adult and child curriculum that includes gross motor skills, listening skills, rhythmic activities, basic tumbling skills and beginning dance skills.
Combination Classes
Combination classes are designed for students ages 3 to 13 to learn beginning dance skills. Combination classes are separated by age and dance experience. Each combination class includes ballet, tap, jazz and tumbling skills appropriately coordinated to the dancer’s age and skill level.
Specialty classes
We are proud to offer specialty dance styles including hip-hop, lyrical, musical theater, tumbling and technique. These classes are offered for beginners ages five and up through our most advanced dancers. For placements in one of these classes, please contact us.
