Lana McGinnis founded the Ballet Academy of Performing Arts in 1984. Her vision was to create a positive atmosphere through qualified teachers encouraging a love of dance, music, and the arts. BAPA has a tradition of achieving that goal, and continues to provide that to the students who dance here. The Ballet Academy of Performing Arts offers expert instruction in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip-Hop, and Modern/Lyrical for all ages!
