Our Mission...

 

Core Elements Performing Arts Company (CEPAC)

 

Dance is a form of artistic expression, designed for performing.  The ultimate goal of dance training is the performance!  Until the dance student performs for a live audience, their training is incomplete.  Many dance students will perform only once a year-on a stage in the recital.  CEPAC is a group of more serious dancers who desire more than that once-a-year opportunity.  CEPAC dancers LOVE to be on a stage!  The performance company will provide you with more opportunities to be in the spotlight and share your talent with others while building life long friendships.  

 

We believe in creating a HEALTHY competition experience for students (and parents) to grow.  Its about training and performing.  Whether they win, or which award they win, is secondary.

​
