Thomas Performing Arts Center
Mission Statement:
At Thomas Performing Arts Center, we believe that dance is not just an art form, but a universal language that everyone can participate in and benefit from. Our mission is to guide students of all ages towards reaching their highest potential, both in dance and in life. We aim to build not only their dance skills but also essential life skills, nurturing their creative spirits and inspiring them to become successful individuals and contributing members of our community.
Dance education offers numerous benefits, including increased confidence, improved health, and a vibrant outlet for creative expression. We are committed to maintaining a positive, supportive environment where dancers of all backgrounds feel welcomed and encouraged to grow. By fostering mutual respect and support, we strive to help each dancer become the best version of themselves, both on and off the dance floor.
Vision Statement
Our vision at TPAC is deeply rooted in community involvement, and we strive to bring the transformative power of the arts to every young person in Franklin and Waldo counties. Through dynamic performances and participation in smaller-scale events such as parades and local festivals, we aim to engage and inspire our community. We believe that financial constraints should never be a barrier to artistic education, which is why we actively pursue scholarship funds to ensure accessibility for all. Our commitment is to nurture talent, foster creativity, and build a more inclusive, artistically enriched community, empowering the next generation of artists and creators to reach their full potential.
