Dance
Movement matters and we all need it more than ever. Dance is one of the most joyful ways to stay active building strength, coordination, and confidence all at once. It is also the heartbeat of our musical theatre program, connecting with music and theatre to create truly well-rounded performers.

MoreDance Workshops
CAA dance workshops are where curiosity meets the dance floor. From show choreography and hip hop to tap and beyond, each workshop is a fun, focused deep dive into a style or skill you have always wanted to explore.
Dance Classes
Great dancers are built over time, and our 12-week sessions are designed with exactly that in mind. With classes spanning from our youngest movers to our teens, your child will find a great place to move, grow, and discover something they love.
Musical Theatre Productions
At Charlotte Academy of the Arts, our musical theatre productions are more than a show — they are a transformative experience for every performer who steps on stage. From intricate costumes and choreography to professional lighting and sound, our productions are fully licensed, full-scale, and built to give kids and teens the real thing. Led by some of the Charlotte area’s most talented teaching artists, students don’t just learn to sing, dance, and act — they discover confidence, build character, and find their own unique voice.
