Texas Center for Arts + Academics Dance Conservatories Students

Texas Center for Arts + Academics (TCA+A) is proud to be part of the vibrant Fort Worth Arts Community. Since its inception in 2015, our after-school community programs have been transforming lives and nurturing creativity. It all began with the opening of the Texas Dance Conservatory – an inclusive, accessible space for dancers of all ages and backgrounds. 

Building on the success of the dance program, we expanded our offerings to include the Texas Art Conservatory in 2019. This addition provided budding artists with a space to explore various mediums, unleash their imagination, and develop their artistic voices. Today this program offers a rich and diverse curriculum, offering methods for self-expression and healing through art, portfolio building, and exhibition experience.

In 2020, during the pandemic, all of our programs shifted to online classes allowing students to continue their arts training from home. Despite many schools dropping arts education during remote learning, we continued providing arts experiences and instruction to our students and had many new families join along the way. It was during this time the Texas Music Conservatory was launched, offering virtual voice and piano lessons to students. The program quickly grew upon returning to in-person instruction to include choral ensembles, instrumental and conducting classes, and music theory. This program has nurtured the talents of countless students, fostering a lifelong love for music and creating a dynamic musical community.

We are eagerly anticipating the first semester of our newest addition, the Texas Theatre Conservatory, with classes beginning Fall of 2023. This program will bring the magic of Theatre to aspiring actors, designors, directors, and playwrights, providing a platform for them to hone their craft and unleash their creativity on and behind the stage.

We believe that arts education should be accessible to all, and as such, all of our programs are open to the public. Whether you’re a novice seeking to explore a new passion or a seasoned artist looking to take your skills to the next level, there is a place for you within our after-school conservatories. Registration for all conservatory programs is currently open, and we invite you to join our artistic family. Discover the joy of Dance, unleash your creativity through Visual Arts, create beautiful melodies, and bring stories to life on stage. Be part of the magic that happens when arts and academics converge. Enroll today and embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, growth, and artistic excellence.
