CAPA OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN CINCINNATI
CAPA’s mission is to foster and inspire excellence in all aspects of the performing arts for children and adults within Cincinnati and its surrounding communities through education and public engagement. There are many schools where students to do not have access to the performing arts. CAPA outreach programs work toward the goal of bringing the arts to underserved schools and communities. Through our generous sponsors and donors - and covering your processing fees on our tuition based programs - we are able to use those funds and partner with schools or organizations to bring the arts directly to a school or community.
Chase Elementary in the Northside - Now in its second year, this program has grown from 12 students to 33 at Chase Elementary! CAPA is providing ballet programming with an Afro-Caribbean influence for students grades K - 6th grade. This dance class draws on foundation of ballet, teaching students' standard ballet techniques and vocabulary while combining with jazz and contemporary dance from the historical rich Caribbean community. The classes culminates with a recital at the end of the session. In December 2023 the students took on The Nutcracker which was a delight for all!
Oyler Elementary in lower Price Hill - Added in the fall of 2023, CAPA is providing the above ballet class for Oyler Elementary 3rd and 4th graders at Ballet Caraibbe Dance Studio in lower Price Hill (right across the street from Oyler!)

CBC - CAPA Ballet Cairaibe DanceCare Camp - New summer of 2023, CAPA offered a summer long dance camp during the months of June and July. Camp ran afternoons in June (after Summer Scholars programming) and full day, 9am-3pm in July. Lunch ws provided every day through collaboration with Our Daily Bread and Le Soupe. Camp uniforms - leotard, tights and ballet shoes - provided to each camper. Campers marched/danced in the annual Northside July 4th parade.
