Project Performing Arts

Project Performing Arts Project Performing Arts empowers youth, children and teens, through artistic expression.

Project Performing Arts is a non-profit performing arts program located in Harlem for children ages 6-17 years of age. PPA opened for classes in September 2013 and received non-profit status in 2019. Classes in Dance, Theater Arts and West African Drumming provides students with low cost professional performing arts classes. We engage children and teens in professional training to enrich their lives, discover and nurture their individual talents and provide opportunities and experiences that broaden their perspectives, and foster transferable life skills developed through performing arts training.

We danced, we celebrated, we made new friends and most of all, we had a GREAT time!
