Charlotte Performing Arts Academy

Our Fall 2026 classes start in less than a week, and spots are almost gone! If you've been on the fence about enrolling your dancer, now is the time - register now at charlottepaa.com/fall-2026!

Today's the day! 🎉

Whether this is your first time hearing about CPAA or you've been part of the fam for years, we can’t wait to welcome you to our studio.

See you at 2:00pm!

What an honor it was to be part of the 5th Annual Youth Explosion at the Harvey B. Gantt Center! 🖤

Our dancers had the privilege of closing out this year’s summit, a powerful day designed to uplift and inspire middle and high school students across the Charlotte area.

And this year's theme, "Leading Outside of the Lines," could not have been more fitting for a group of young performers who do exactly that every time they step on stage.

We are so proud of our dancers for representing CPAA with excellence and adding their voices to such an important conversation in our community!

The 2025-2026 season was one for the books, and we couldn't be more proud of everything our CPAA Fam accomplished together:

- Highest Scoring Routine of the Weekend at Hollywood Vibe
- Standout Studio Award at DanceMakers
- Four 1st Overalls for our Kidz Crew at Imagine Nationals
- Two sold-out shows for our Winter and Spring Recitals
- 8 graduating seniors (the most in CPAA history!)

To the Class of 2026: you carried this season with grace, talent, and heart. Watching you grow into the young people you've become has been one of our greatest honors. We love you and we'll miss you more than words can say. 🥹

And to our returning dancers - Season 18 is right around the corner, and we can't wait to see what you do next. The best is yet to come! 💃🏾
