These programs cultivate a love for the arts, while encouraging creative thinking, problem solving, athleticism, and healthy life styles.

Mentorship/ Workstudy Program
Georgia Dance Theatre professional company members assist in partnership with the Fayette County Board of Education and the Coweta County Board of Education in providing opportunities for leadership development to high school students.

Dance Without Limits . . .
Classes for Special Needs Children This program was created solely for the special needs children of our community to give them an outlet to move freely with creative movement, dance, and coordination skills. We offer Dance Without LImits free to the community as a part of our outreach to give back to our community. This class is located in a dance environment where the dance curriculum is modified so the children could gain the most from the class in a positive, nurturing environment.
