Tampa Bay Performing Arts Academy
About
At Tampa Bay Performing Arts Academy, our focus is on performance and we mean it. It is our goal to give each and every member of our musical theater casts & Encore Performance Team as much stage time as possible.
We believe that students should have lots of opportunities to demonstrate the skills they learn in class in front of a live audience. Our teachers know how vitally important it is to transition from rehearsal to performance and that can only happen in a live show. Each performance builds a student's confidence in themselves and with continued successes and occasional recoveries from failures students builds sustaining self-esteem.
Whether a true beginner with no experience or a student with years of performance , our goal is to give each student the opportunity to grow and share their talent on stage!!
