Principal Creative & Performing Arts

Since 2007 Small Fry Dance Club has provided dance classes to children all over the Bay Area. SFDC has seen over 4000 students come through its program in that time and has been named Best Dance Studio by multiple publications including Bay Area Parent Magazine, Chatterblock, and Redtri. You may have also seen its owners, Jana and Carlos Chapeton, featured in the September issue of Parenting on the Peninsula Magazine.

On November 1, 2014 SFDC will be moving to 1528 South El Camino Real, Suite 208, in San Mateo. Their new space is a gorgeous 4000 sqft facility with three dance studios, a dedicated reception desk, larger lobby space, and more restrooms. It is a big upgrade from its current 1300 sqft location at the Charter Square Shopping Center in Foster City.

With the opening of their new location SFDC is also officially launching, Principal Creative & Performing Arts. PCPA will be an expansion for kids over the age of 5, teens, and adults. We will now offer Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, and Fitness Classes. PCPA is also working on adding additional cultural dance styles, and is working on a partnership with ODC to bring some of its classes to the peninsula.

PCPA’s goal is to promote dance on the peninsula, and to develop amazing dancers through their programs. PCPA is a creative and performing arts program that requires dancers to be both athletes and artists. Our ultimate goal is to instill dance intensity and drive inspired by much more than trophies and sequins. We believe in building strong fundamentals, technique, and discipline through dance training and performance experience. You can count on building a respect and love for dance whether you are training for personal or professional goals.

Come try us and find out why we have been named the best dance studio on the peninsula for 4 consecutive years!
