The Community Dance Academy at the Capital Area Y is a creative arts program that is an excellent opportunity for youth, teens, adults and families to gain exposure to a significant aspect of our culture.  Through the arts, participants experience activities that foster self-expression and build self-esteem, develop imagination, critical thinking and valuable social skills.  The goal of our Dance Academy is to help students learn proper technique with developing a love for expressing themselves through dance.  The Community Dance Academy offers beginner, intermediate and advanced classes for ages 3 through senior adults.

Dance is the medium through which we show the world who we truly are and who we can be. We are not ordinary. We know ourselves to be wonderfully unique, with many layers of personality and talent woven in such a way that this is our chance to be different.
