Description:
NW MO Academy of the Arts is a family owned and operated business offering quality instruction in the performing arts. With a strong foundation in dance (ballet, tap, jazz etc.) we have recently branched out and expanded our curriculum to include gymnastics, parkour, martial arts and theater. While the academy has been running steadily for almost two decades, we have recently taken a huge step to expand and build the company. Almost two years ago, we moved the studio into an old sale barn, the renovations so far are amazing the studio now includes two full class rooms, and our own theater, the stage doubles as a third classroom while not in use for performances. We also have a 50's style diner which serves as a waiting area for parents during classes. In the last year we have also been able to start a theater group and produce monthly dinner theater shows in our theater. There is still a lot of renovating to be done on the building, and we are hoping to purchase the property.
