Our hearts are so full after this past weekend 💫

Watching our dancers take the stage after months of hard work was nothing short of inspiring. From our littlest stars exploring creativity and joy, to our older dancers showing dedication, discipline, and growth. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do.

At CAPA, it’s about so much more than dance. It’s the confidence built, the friendships formed, and the supportive environment we’re so proud to create for every student ❤️

We are beyond grateful for our dance families who make it all possible, we love sharing these special milestones with you!

We can’t wait for what’s ahead this season… and we’d love for you to join us!
✨ Sleeping Beauty takes the ICC stage May 8–10, come see our students perform alongside professional dancers! ✨

We are just one week away from opening our annual Student Showcase, and this year our students are bringing the vibrant story of Don Quixote to the stage! 🩰

Our specially condensed version of this beloved classical ballet gives students the opportunity to step into featured and leading roles, gaining valuable stage experience and confidence. Throughout the fall and spring, many of our students perform alongside the professional dancers of Central Illinois Ballet—but this performance is all about them.

This year’s production has been staged by Maya De Leon, Principal Dancer with Central Illinois Ballet and Academy instructor. After last season’s wonderful production of Robin Hood, we are thrilled to see Maya bring her choreography and artistic direction to another exciting student ballet.

We invite families, friends, and our community to come celebrate the hard work and dedication of these talented young dancers!
