Feel Free and Alive

There is a lot more to the art of dancing than perfect technique and rhythm. At Milford Performing Arts Center, we look at dance for what it is - a form of expression. At the heart of every dancer is a creative soul looking to break free and enjoy the experience. That is exactly what you will see here - expression and creativity in joyful motion.

There are many dance classes held each week. You'll find plenty of opportunities for you to be expressive and grow as a dancer.
