It's a place that exists in the hearts and souls of those who believe that through art we can share the diverse gifts of humankind. We live here in our dreams, and the way we shape our lives will lead us to our future here. Live here, and we move with grace and strength and sureness. From our lips come the seductive sounds of truth and clarity. We see in the sumptuous colors of the universe, and all we do is a masterpiece of meaning and poignancy. We share in a community of freedom and creativity where our bodies become the instruments of our inspiration. We experience love and beauty that transcends depiction.

Our goal is to develop and sustain all our students and performing artists in a way that allows their work to benefit the communities they live in, bringing about a more humane society by sharing the gifts of the creative spirit. We promote the concept that the quality of our lives is not measured by our economic development as much as by our creative development, not by how much we can use, but by how much we can give.

How do we live here? How do we arrive at this place?

We will...
... when our hearts are pure and our souls becomes wise with the tragic lessons of inhumanity, instead of bitter with despair...

... when we respond to the unknown with the joy of discovery rather than fear and reluctance...
... when we accept the riches of diversity, celebrate and gain strength from our differences...
... when we reach beyond our limitations and reach our aspirations by taking the hand of our neighbor...

Here we will live with music our language, and dance our way of life. Here Art is for People -- all people, and once we open ourselves to this life, we will never leave.
