programs in the Northwest region…” – Idaho Statesman

Learn more about our quality and caring dance instruction below.

As a performing arts center, our goal is to instill a respect for the art of dance, while providing the highest quality training possible. Our professional faculty has a refreshingly humanistic approach to training and preparing the student for a meaningful and long lasting relationship with the arts. Eagle Performing Arts Center was founded in 2004 and has been at the forefront of promoting dance in Idaho. Students at EPAC receive excellent dance training while developing a love for the art of dance. Through performances in the greater Treasure Valley, our dancers share their passion for dance with the larger community. 

The school is a wonderful place to study and mature as a young artist. Many students have gone to dance professionally and study at colleges and universities, while others have pursued academic interests while maintaining a meaningful relationship with dance through adult classes and patronage of the performing arts.

“EPAC has become a place where young dancers grow into artists, community thrives, and the performing arts are elevated with purpose and professionalism.”
