Our dancers had an eventful summer! We started with the annual Maypole Dance in Boalsburg (in a new location because of rain!) then we helped "Kick Off" the Central PA Theatre and Dance Fest where our Children's Ensemble performed 'The Bremen Town Musicians' and 'The Day the Crayons Quit' AND held a "Dance the Colors" workshop, capped off with a performance during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts (Again - in a new location: Schlow Centre Region Library) Now we're ready for a fun and exciting fall semester!

Our Story

The Central PA Dance Workshop (CPDW) offers professional level dance training for children and adults in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Creative Movement, and more. Children’s classes begin at age 4 and CPDW's adult classes span a spectrum of ages with no upper limit. Ballroom lessons and other private lessons in a multitude of styles can also be scheduled by appointment.

Performance opportunities include two end-of-semester, theme-based School Performances, the annual Student Choreographers Showcase, the Maypole Dance on Memorial Day in historic Boalsburg, and our yearly appearance on children's day at the Central PA Festival of the Arts. Additionally, the Fraser Street Dancers, CPDW's advanced student company, perform at various venues throughout the year.

CPDW is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization founded in 1969 with the goal to enrich the community through dance classes and performances, bringing dance to groups and individuals who otherwise might never have an exposure to this art form.

CPDW operates on a semester system, offering a 14-week Fall semester beginning after Labor Day, and a 14-week Spring semester, which begins in January. During May and early June, there is a 5-week Intersession, and following the Intersession, CPDW offers a 6-week Summer semester.
