Welcome back!

Happy Back to School week!

We had a great time at the Back to School Fair last week at the Glazer Children’s Museum. Susan Downey’s adult tappers performed and Downey gave a mini tap class for the kids. The kids and parents loved it!

Now that the last minute school shopping is done, and fall schedules are in place, if you haven't registered yet, it’s time to get you and your kids signed up for enrichment classes at the Patel Conservatory in Tampa.

We’re gearing up for an incredible year, with more classes and offerings for all ages and skill levels. So whether you’re a kid or kid at heart, we welcome you to join us and renew your creative spirit!

What's new?

In dance, the popular Hip Hop Show Team returns, as well as the adult hip hop dance class. We've also added an adult Strength and Stretch class perfect for moms who need a break in their day or professionals on their lunch break. Join us on Mondays, from 12 to 1 p.m., for this invigorating mix of yoga and core strengthening.

In theater, we've refined our curriculum so that students can choose their focus. Our youth theater and adult acting courses follow a progressive path from fall to spring, building on acquired skills throughout the year.

In music, we've expanded our jazz program to include four jazz ensembles and two vocal arts choirs. Of course, we continue to offer our exceptional Rock School and Youth Orchestra programs, both of which are an excellent way for students to apply what they learn from private instrument lessons.

Please check out our full schedule online, or call at 813-222-1002 to receive a fall catalog. Our registrar will be happy to assist you in figuring out the best class for you or your child.
