In the words of Martha Graham, "Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery!"
    
First let us say "Welcome to YPAS!" Whether you are taking an elective course like F.O.D. or Body Conditioning or you are a third-year Dance Major we are very excited to be among your teachers this school year. To parents, we  hope you will use this website as a tool to stay connected to the learning your child is doing in the dance studio. To students, we hope you will embrace your dance studies, however brief or long, as an opportunity to broaden your horizons. Remember, with technique, dance science, choreography, performance studies, somaticsdance history, dance cultural studies, arts administration, dance theory, arts medicine, dance education and much much more the opportunities for learning and participation at every level are endless. Did you know that you can receive your PhD in dance studies from prestigious schools like New York University and Temple University?  On this website you will find access to important information concerning the YPAS dance department including a calendar of events, documents, honor society information and much more. This website and the tools it provides will help us build community and keep us all:  parents, students, alumni and teachers on the same page.   And once again, please remember, dance is discovery!

Sincerely,
