    It is also

    • a dance school for children 3 to 18, with an impressive track record for spotting and nurturing raw talent to produce young performers who gain entry into New York’s top performing arts high schools and go on to win competitions and enter leading conservatories.
    • A parallel effort within the dance school aims to train all students - even those who do not pursue dance careers - to become disciplined, responsible teens and productive adults.

    Besides the dance school, Creative Outlet’s Arts in Education program hires talented teaching artists who instruct children within the New York City public schools about African-American cultural heritage and develops their understanding of the performing arts.
