 This is what parents of WSPA dancers have to say about
their family's experience:
"We are very happy about the quality instruction and personal encouragement offered at WSPA. We appreciate the standards and integrity of the director and teachers as well as their experience."
-Gwen Duggins
"Wichita School of Performing Arts has been a perfect fit for my daughters. My girls have thrived in their classes. Miss Lori and her staff strike a wonderful balance of formal instruction and fun. The girls have enjoyed making new friends and are constantly showing off their newest dance steps. Miss Lori is very sensitive to children and their development. Class lengths are age appropriate, and all instructors seek to help the children develop to their fullest potential.
Spring Production at Wichita School of Performing Arts is truly a family oriented yet artistic event. The tasteful costumes and appropriate music choices make this a wholesome and positive experience for my children. It is evident that much effort has been expended to make this a reality."
-Dawn Flucke
WSPA dancers who have gone on to professional
performing opportunities
have these thoughts to share:
"I believe that dancing most of my life will provide me with an excellent background for my field interest."
-Katy June-Friesen
"I think studying dance and the other performing arts is important for
the development of a well-balanced individual. And what I have taken from my experience at WSPA has made me a well-rounded dancer and individual. I have studied many different types and styles of dance, so when I became a dance major at Wichita State University I was already way ahead of other students my age."
-Debby Canfield
A Professional Dancer who has taught Master Classes at WSPA:
"I have had the opportunity to study, train, and teach at several conservatories, universities, and dance schools throughout the nation and abroad. I have experienced learning atmospheres of all different natures. I have taught at schools where the students have remarkable facilities, but bad training. I have studied at schools that receive excellent training, but bad facilities. It is rare that I have the opportunity to work with schools that have both a healthy environment for dancers and quality training. I am fortunate to say that I truly experienced this at the Wichita School of Performing Arts. I continue to visit Wichita each year and teach as a Guest Artist at WSPA because I enjoy being in an atmosphere that continues to facilitate and promote the excellence of dance. The school is more than just a beautiful facility with highly motivated and experienced faculty and talented and well trained students, but it is also very family-oriented....a home away from home. The parents are very supportive and are always eager to step into any role necessary to continue maintaining order within the school. Perhaps the most important element I've noticed is the vision and mission of the school's owner/director, Lori League. She is truly devoted to bringing top-notch training to the students at WSPA. It is rare to find an owner more devoted to the students than the dollar. Her devotion to the students is evident in the warm atmosphere of the school, the highly qualified faculty, the constructive criticism she actively seeks from the community, guest artists, peers, and colleagues. The school is truly a gem in Wichita and each year I look forward to coming out to teach master classes to my Wichita family."
