The school Pacific DanceArts offers three training programs: a general dance training program for students from preschool to advanced level, a professional ballet / dance training program for students who intend to pursue a professional career in dance, and Coastal City Ballet, a pre-professional ballet company with a mandate to provide an increased platform for advanced young dancers to showcase their talents and deepen their skills through performing, while exploring career possibilities within the field of dance.

Give your children a gift that will last a lifetime; the gift of dance. At The Happening Dance Company your child can choose from a range of dance styles including: jazz, ballet, tap, contemporary, combo, and hip-hop.
At The Happening, we envision young people as creative individuals capable of beautifully articulate communication through movement.
Our mission is to invest in children and young adults as people first and as dancers second. We encourage young people to develop the technical skills that underlie physical communication, and we expect excellence while nurturing each individual's joy in movement.
We value balance between excellence and achievable expectations, ongoing personal learning, and expansion of artistic boundaries, as well as personal expression through the movement of every unique body.
The Happening Dance is an incredible studio - kids are encouraged and challenged, the teachers push for a high degree of excellence while fostering creativity and confidence! And it is SO MUCH FUN!Read more
