About Riverside Performing Arts

Your holistic approach to learning and performing

Welcome to Riverside Performing Arts – Vancouver’s first all-inclusive dance, theatre, and music training academy and preschool! We teach ages 2 through adult, from the beginner to the pre-professional. It is our goal to make each program a welcoming, enjoyable, and educational space where every student can explore their love for the arts while building a variety of skills that will support their long-term growth.

A Supportive Learning Environment

From music and dance to acting and storytelling, the performing arts have something for everyone. No matter where your passions lie, an education in performing arts can help you investigate your interests while building community, confidence, skill, and more.

At Riverside Performing Arts, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore the arts in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. That is why we strive to make classes as approachable and welcoming as possible for every student who walks through our doors.

Learn to Perform

We believe every student deserves to have their moment in the spotlight. That is why all students at Riverside Performing Arts are able to perform at least twice per year. Each of our performances is sponsored by the Northwest Performing Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing performance opportunities to members of the community. Whether it be in a professional auditorium or on our in-house film and sound stage, each student is given their time to shine.

Tour Our Facilities

Riverside Performing Arts functions out of a nearly 10,000 square foot facility with plenty of space for our classes, performances, and more.
