PAFA, located in Sherman Oaks, offers high quality dance, theater and music classes designed for adults with special needs and limitations to the Greater LA area. We also provide workshops, master classes, and free performances for the general public. While we do charge for classes, we offer scholarships to those in need and no one is turned away. We partner with other Los Angeles non- profits including MUSE/IQUE, LA OPERA, and LA BALLET to give our families live and virtual event experiences, as well as encouraging available performance opportunities (ex. those with Infinite Flow and LA Opera Community Opera). Currently, we are teaching virtually and are providing appropriate links to local organizations that are producing online content that supports our clients learning.

Your donation helps build community by providing performing arts opportunities to those in the greater Los Angeles community and beyond, no matter what their level of experience or challenges may be.
