The mission of Gateway Performing Arts Studio’s is simple: We provide a gateway to learn, express and inspire through Voice, Dance and Theater.

 

We believe that the arts have the power to transform people’s lives, and that change effects communities and ultimately our global community.

 

We strive to develop and teach the highest standard of performing arts education, which provides our students with the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful in any future endeavors. It is our goal to use the arts to create experiences that will build confidence, creativity, communication skills, team building skills, citizenship, and character.

 

Gateway’s 3 steps to accomplishing our mission are: 

 

* To provide quality learning and performance opportunities in the performing arts

 

* Create an atmosphere that encourages goal setting, risk taking and views mistakes as an opportunity for learning

 

* Provide a staff of encouraging professional artists who serve as teachers as well as mentors
