The Peninsula Performing Arts Academy provides a variety of choices of performance arts to all ages! Our Academy focuses on three mediums: Theatre, Dance & Music.

6 months - 4 yearsFor the youngest participants we have our “Exploring Movement” classes. These classes are designed to engage parents & children in a positive, fun & active experience. If you & your child are interested in music, be sure to check-out our “Music - Exploring Together!” course located with the Music Program.

3 years - 6 yearsAt age 3, children are eligible to join our progression based educational arts programs. Students ages 3-6 can work on their balance & coordination with our Level I Dance classes. These courses are traditionally some of our most popular courses and they focus on the introduction to various dance mediums, including: creative movement, ballet, tap, and hip-hop.

6 years - 14 yearsStudents can further develop their dance technique in ballet, tap, or hip-hop. Through our Theater program, students can participate in a performing piece that integrates vocal music, dance and theatre arts. The “American Musical Showcase” class is an interactive and popular program that performs well-known Broadway shows quarterly. Students enrolled in most Level I dance programs or above will participate alongside the theater students to make the show truly the culminating center of the performing arts academy. Children may repeat our classes as new concepts & materials will continue to be introduced.

At age 8, students can enroll for private guitar lessons or private vocal lessons held weekly at Peninsula at an incredible value.

14 years & upFor our students who are 14 & up, we offer a variety of courses in every category. Classes include: Guitar, Ballet, Tap and Theatre. In addition the center offers a wide variety of adult fitness courses and courses designed for both parent & child to attend.

Need a memorable site for a special occasion? A quiet space for a meeting? The Historic Overlook House is just that place, perfect for your wedding, anniversary party, business retreat or any special event that deserves a beauti-ful and unique setting, in the heart of the city but off the beaten path. Built in 1927, the handsome brick and stucco Tudor residence sits on more than an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. Views of the Willamette River and

Portland’s West Hills span from the grounds as well as the plentiful windows. Mature trees and lovely perennials frame the garden. A rose covered trellis creates a focal point for a romantic outdoor wedding or reception in sum-mer and early fall. Inside, the charm of the original woodwork, beveled glass and tile fireplace offer an intimate setting for your event. The house and grounds are adaptable for indoor or outdoor events. Furniture and rooms can be arranged to fit your needs. Chairs, tables, dishes and silverware are available for your guests, along with a full kitchen for food preparation, do-it-yourself or by your caterer. The first floor is wheelchair accessible. Ca-pacity for indoor events is 75 and outside events is 150. The Historic Overlook House is minutes from downtown Portland or from the airport. The house is open for tours every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Reservations are not necessary, but if you call ahead we will know to expect you. We hope to see you soon.
