Our Mission
At El Dorado School of Performing Arts, our mission is to create a welcoming, inspiring space where every dancer—regardless of age or experience—can discover their passion, build confidence, and shine. We are committed to nurturing artistic expression, encouraging personal growth, and fostering a sense of community through the joy of dance.
We believe dance should be a place where students feel supported, valued, and challenged in the best way possible. Our instructors are dedicated to guiding each dancer as they develop strong technique, explore new styles, and gain trust in their own abilities. From tiny beginners taking their first steps to advanced dancers working toward big goals, every student is given the opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate their achievements.
At EDSPA, we aim to build more than dancers—we aim to build leaders, teammates, and confident young people who take the discipline and creativity they learn in the studio into every part of their lives. Whether our dancers dream of the stage or simply love to move, we’re here to help them find their light and feel proud of who they are every step of the way.
Our Story
When El Dorado’s long-running dance studio closed its doors, our community faced the heartbreaking thought of losing a place where dancers could learn, grow, and shine. Rather than let that chapter end, we decided to begin a new one.
Founded by Piper Wise, the El Dorado School of Performing Arts was created to give dancers of all ages a welcoming home to explore movement, build skills, and discover their light. With fresh energy, a passionate teaching team, and a vision for the future, our mission is to continue—and expand—the tradition of quality dance education in our community.
What began as a response to a loss has grown into a commitment to our dancers, our families, and the community we love. EDSPA is built on the belief that dance brings people together, strengthens confidence, and creates lifelong memories.
We’re here because we believe every dancer deserves a place to belong—and we’re dedicated to keeping that place alive for generations to come. Together, we’re building a new legacy rooted in passion, connection, and the simple joy of dancing.
Quality Dance Education For Every Dancer!
We’re committed to offering strong, well-rounded dance education that helps dancers grow confidently and safely. Our classes are structured, thoughtfully designed, and tailored to meet dancers where they are while guiding them forward. We focus on proper technique, artistry, and personal development—not just memorizing choreography. Whether a dancer dreams of performing onstage, pursuing dance long-term, or simply wants a fun and enriching activity, we provide the tools, training, and inspiration they need to succeed.
Your support makes a difference.
