The SOPA 20-week program will round off with an exciting Year-End Showcase, where participants can display their hard work through energetic and inspiring performances across different dance and theatrical styles. Throughout this 20-week experience, participants of all ages get the opportunity to explore new interests and learn alongside their peers in a fun and safe environment that emphasizes unity, support, and growth, led by highly skilled and welcoming Y staff.

“When you dance, you experience a sense of well-being, carry yourself with grace, and exude confidence,” said School of Performing Arts Director Gus Ibranyi. “The arts can profoundly impact young people, fostering creativity, self-worth, and the ability to think critically and imaginatively.”

With programs for preschoolers through teenagers across Aquatics, Enrichment, Fitness, Gymnastics, SOPA, special needs programming, Sports, and Y Ninja Gym, we offer programs and classes to match every interest, ensuring opportunities for all ages and abilities. Browse our offerings online with your children; you may be surprised at the classes they are interested in!
