✨ This year marks our 18th Invitational at Carnegie Hall! 🎶

Over the years, we’ve had the great honor of bringing performing artists to some truly glorious stages, from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to Summer Stages around the world. 🌎

Every stage has given us new memories, new connections, and the opportunity to celebrate the incredible talent of our performing arts community.

Take a look back at the stages we’ve been lucky enough to call home and explore more of our journey on our website! 🎭✨

Explore PAE's 25+ years of non-competitive performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, and international stages—inspiring artistry and growth in choral, dance, ans music.

✨ PAE SPOTLIGHT! ✨

We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Chasta Hamilton, whose Stage Door Dance Productions will be joining us at Carnegie Hall this January for our upcoming Performing Arts Educators Invitational! 🎭✨

Chasta is part of a new generation of artists and educators helping create meaningful, inclusive, and inspiring spaces for dancers. 💃

In the latest episode of Burnout, Body Image & Ballet, professional ballerina, educator, and choreographer Annie Wright Hamrick dives into important conversations surrounding body image, burnout, restrictive eating, and the pressures dancers can face throughout their training.

The conversation also explores how parents, teachers, and dance organizations can help create healthier environments for young dancers, while making ballet more inclusive and accessible to dancers of all body types, heights, skin tones, and backgrounds.

It’s an important conversation for anyone who loves dance and cares about the future of the art form. 💛

🎧 Listen to Season 2, Episode 4 now on all platforms!

And we can’t wait to welcome Chasta Hamilton and Stage Door Dance to Carnegie Hall this January! 🌟

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible arts educators who inspire, encourage, and empower the next generation of artists, dreamers, and creators.

Thank you for the countless hours, the endless encouragement, and the lasting impact you make every day. The good you give to the next generation reaches far beyond the classroom and will stay with your students for years to come. ❤️

The best part of performing isn’t always the performance. It’s the friendships made in rehearsal, the confidence built along the way, and the memories that last long after the curtain closes. 🫶

And when those memories are made on the stage at Carnegie Hall, they become truly unforgettable. ❤️🎶

There’s nothing quite like watching a student step onto a stage and realize just how far they’ve come. ❤️ We can’t wait to be back on stage at Carnegie Hall this winter! ❄️

The performing arts teach so much more than music, dance, or theater. They teach confidence, discipline, collaboration, creativity, and the courage to take up space.

That’s what makes this work so special. ✨
