Youth Arts Academy

Restoration’s Center for Arts and Culture - Youth Arts Academy (YAA) offers quality instruction to youth ages 3 to 18 in dance, theater, and African drumming. Over the course of two semesters, classes are offered at the Academy after school and all day on Saturdays. Through its Arts-In-Action program, YAA also provides arts instruction and professional development workshops in theater, dance, and music to an average of 500 to 1000 students attending Brooklyn-based public schools. For students interested in pursuing dance professionally, YAA offers an intense, multi-genre curriculum in dance. We also offer multi-disciplinary packages consisting of three classes for comprehensive arts instruction.
For those already proficient in dance performance, Restoration has a youth dance company who serves as the dance ambassadors for the Center for Arts and Culture’s Youth Arts Academy.
Many of YAA's students are accepted into the most coveted performing arts schools in New York City. Be a part of the legacy.

Students learn discipline, respect and artistic excellence in a supportive, creative environment. Unique learning and complementary performance opportunity for YAA students includes DanceAfrica, which is hosted in partnership with the Brooklyn Academy of Music. YAA students are routinely accepted at renowned performing arts high schools; some go on to professional artistic careers on Broadway and film.
