Companies
CAA's dance companies prepare students for high school, college and professional careers in dance. CAA strongly encourages participation in a company to accelerate a dancer's education and development. All CAA company dancers are given opportunities to engage in service projects for their community and are encouraged to use their talents to help others through CAA's benefit concerts and through individual company projects.
