Thank you for choosing NYPAC for your child’s dance & theatre education!

We are celebrating our 9th year in Washingtonville, offering the most classes & quality dance education in the area. NYPAC’s Performing Arts Facility has three state of the art, bright studios, complete with professional Marley Dance Floors, as used in all Broadway Show stages, room length mirrors, portable ballet barres, gymnastic mats & plenty of fun dance props.

FUN PRE-SCHOOL & KINDER- COMBO CLASSES !
NYPAC provides beginner through advanced performers the opportunity for an exceptional arts education. We offer a professional and artistic approach to training our students, treating the dancer as a complete performer, incorporating acting & musical theatre into most of our classes. This model sets NYPAC apart from other dance studios. Our children’s classes are taught in a fun atmosphere, which encourages dancers to learn the art of movement through exploration, and self-expression using themes children can relate to. The more advanced classes are taught with a focus on technique, developing and training strong, educated, well-rounded, confident dancers. Our programs are designed to stimulate & challenge performers who are seeking a fun, once a week class, as well as those who are interested in a more intensive program that may lead them into a professional dance career. We also have seven levels of Performing Companies, which are for the more serious performers, as well as many creative and unique combination classes throughout the week. Our Arts Center is not only proud of our reputation for developing strong dancers, but also for creating an atmosphere that promotes discipline, creativity, self- respect, strong peer relationships and leadership. We create lasting bonds, both with students as well as their parents, thus creating a warm, family atmosphere within our studio. We believe in building the skills needed to dance and the self-confidence needed for life!
In the past 8 years, NYPAC Dancers have accomplished so much and have danced at such amazing venues. Their dance companies were the opening act at the World Famous Carnegie Hall in 2009 & then were asked to open the show again, at the legendary Lincoln Center in 2010 & 2013. They also produced five original versions of The Nutcracker, which performed to a sold out house at WHS & The Lycian Theatre! The Dance Companies have performed four years in a row at the Orange County Light The Night Leukemia Fundraiser & have competed & won in prestigious dance competitions in Gold, High Gold, Platinum and Overall Awards.
NYPAC is owned & operated by cousins, Cyara Kamp & Jacquelyn Planker, who have been dancing together their entire lives. Miss Cyara and Miss Jacquelyn have choreographed & and won national gold medals in various competitions for precision fast tap, jazz and ballet. They have also performed and choreographed routines that have been performed on Broadway at the Brooks-Atkinson Theatre, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center’s Avery Fischer and Alice Tully Halls. Miss Cyara and Miss Jacquelyn come from a long family background of dance studio owners, following in their mothers’, grandmother’s & aunt’s footsteps. They have participated in the dance and musical theatre programs at Bloomsburg University, SUNY Orange & Indian River College, performing many musicals. They have also studied under legendary choreographers & professional dancers such as Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio, Michele Assaf, Finis Jhung, Brian Freedman & Cris Judd.
