Our Story

Ovation School for the Performing Arts provides classes in all areas of the performing arts. Students between the ages of 5-18 take classes after school in Jazz, Musical Theater, Tap, Singing and Acting. These same classes are provided to Teens and Adults with Special Needs on Saturdays. Students are encouraged to apply their skills at community performances and recitals throughout the year.

At Ovation creativity is encouraged without limits. However, true creativity must have proper structure. In the classroom, we allow the creativity to blossom while teaching structure in a non-critical way. While it is true that the process of being creative is equally as important as the final product, it isn’t enough to simply have the natural gift and allow it to run freely. It must be cultivated and developed to its fullest potential. The most powerful way to develop this balance of self-discipline and creativity in the student is through self-discovery and pride in their accomplishment.

The goal for Ovation has always been to use the Arts to teach life skills such as self-discipline, teamwork and most importantly the concept of “paying it forward” by giving back to their community. Ovation is dedicated to building the character of each individual student, with the belief that they will use these life-skills to make a difference in the world. By teaching the students to use their gifts in this way, we change the world one child at a time.
