This landmark civil rights act went into effect in 1992. It is a significant step forward to make our society’s services and opportunities fully available to all Americans by combating barriers and prejudices that confront those of us with disabilities. RARA is committed to implementing the intent and spirit of this legislation. Those who may need assistance in order to participate and enjoy our programs should contact our staff at least two weeks in advance of registration to discuss any necessary accommodations or concerns.

RARA School for the Performing Arts Our program offers a wide variety of dance classes (preschool, tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, hip hop, acrobatics) for children and adults beginning at 2½ years of age. We teach these classes in terms. Our RECITAL TERM begins each September when students are enrolled for the two semester program, ending with the “grand finale”- our recitals in June presented at a local high school. Some dancers enjoy non recital classes taught in 8-12 week terms throughout the year (fall, winter/spring, and summer). The summer term provides students the opportunity to strengthen skills or sample new classes in a short 8 week session beginning each June.

COMPETITION & ENSEMBLE CLASSES: Annual auditions are held in May and June. (see brochure listing.)

LOCATION: Dance classes are taught at our center located at 500 East Second Street in downtown Rochester. The center features four studio classrooms, each with an observation monitor for viewing.

INSTRUCTORS: Our dance teachers are trained, mature and sensitive to the needs of both children and adults. They teach to develop technique and self-confidence, enhancing body image, strength and agility through dance.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Consistant attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Please make every effort to have students at each class. More than one absence in the last six weeks of the recital term may jeopardize the dancer’s performance opportunity.
