“I could not be more pleased for both students,” ~ Sprinkles. “They both deserve it! They have worked very hard and have a great love for the art of dance.”

Before Mr. Sprinkles says goodbye he will have the opportunity to inspire them one last time during B-PAS’ annual NYC Summer Intensive in August. B-PAS takes a selected group of students to NYC each year to enhance their training and inspire them while seeing Broadway musicals, taking hours worth of classes each day, and meeting several Broadway performers (friends of Mr. Sprinkles)!

Broadway Performing Arts Studios has several students attending summer intensives this year at some of the finest schools in the nation, i.e.; North Carolina School of the Arts, Stella Adler Conservatory, North Carolina Dance Theatre, and South Carolina Governor’s School.
