Fusion Performing Arts Alliance

As a non-profit organization based in Grants Pass, we are dedicated to addressing the needs of our community, particularly for low-income families who may not have access to arts training. Leveraging the diverse expertise of our team, we are committed to providing top-notch dance and performing arts education in the region.

We strongly believe that the arts can have a profound impact on the youth in our community, offering pathways to opportunities such as college scholarships, akin to what sports can provide. Especially in the wake of the recent pandemic, the well-being of our young people is paramount, and we recognize the positive influence that engagement in dance and theater can have on their lives.

FPAA values the multifaceted benefits that come from involvement in dance and theater. Not only does it foster physical discipline, but it also hones skills in choreography, staging, teamwork, active listening, and social interaction. Through these pursuits, students not only acquire new skills but also experience personal growth in a nurturing and creative setting.

Understanding the financial constraints faced by many families in Grants Pass, with a significant portion with a significant number being no or low income, we are committed to offering affordable rates to ensure inclusivity. Furthermore, we are actively seeking grant opportunities to establish scholarship funds and cover other essential expenses, ensuring that our programs are accessible to a wide range of families in our community.
