Our Mission
At The Kaiser Center for the Performing Arts, our mission is to provide the community with a place to share and pass on the joy and discipline of dance and the arts through technique, performance, technology, theory and basic human compassion and interaction.
We provide an environment that challenges dancers and artists to strive for betterness while also being respectful to other members of the community.
