Dance and Drama

Dance and drama classes have been taught by New Hope Dance & Drama at New Hope Performing Arts Center since 1991. Located in Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland, we offer a family environment that fosters artistic excellence and ecourages the students to be "THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE." Students learn how to perform for the sake of the audience, to bring joy and beauty to those watching, and to maintain a caring team spirit.



Statement of Purpose

Artistically train, as well as educate, children to appreciate dance, drama, and music.

Strive for excellence within a positive, productive learning environment maintained by faculty and students.

Create performances that enrich the students and inspire the audiences.

Serve the community through the performances of young dancers.

The New Hope Performing Arts Center is an after school program at New Hope Academy. The program offers high quality recreational dance, competitive dance and drama, and theater classes. It is managed by New Hope Dance & Drama. Enrollment in New Hope Academy is not required. All Dance & Drama classes are open to the community. We offer convenient after school and Saturday classes. Mrs. Concha Marchitelli initiated the New Hope Academy's Dance & Drama program in 1991 and continues to serve as the artistic director.
