Introducing: Expressions School of the Arts!

PSDA has been a fixture of our community since 2017 and we are humbled by the growth we have seen during that time. From 40 students in 400 square feet to where we are today is truly a dream. To all of you who have made PSDA come a live and been a part of our dance family, we cannot thank you enough. In 2022, we decided it is time to expand our horizons and make an exciting change by transitioning to a register 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization: Expressions School of the Arts, under which Pagosa Springs Dance Academy operates.

PSDA has long operated similarly to a nonprofit as we prioritize people over profits. Our goal in creating Expressions is to better serve our dancers by expanding our scholarship programs, keeping dance affordable and accessible, and offering quality instruction in dance and other forms of art with the support of donors and grand funding. The core values of PSDA will live on as a safe and empowering space for young artists to thrive, but we are thrilled to createt a new, more sustainable program providing dance and arts opportunities for our beloved community. We invite you to join us on this journey as we pursue artistic excellence and continue to serve this amazing dance family we have nurtured.

At Expressions School of the Arts, Inc., we are committed to inspiring creativity, building confidence, and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts in the rural community of Archuleta County, Colorado. Through exceptional yet accessible and affordable dance instruction, we strive to empower our students with the skills and discipline needed to excel, while embracing the joy of movement and self-expression. By partnering with local schools and performing arts organizations, we aim to enhance access to high-quality performing arts education, enriching our community and inspiring future generations of artists. Together, we celebrate the power of movement, creativity, and collaboration, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment where every student can thrive.
