 POSITIVE PERFORMING ARTS ASSOCIATION® is a 501-C 3 Public Charitable Organization; all donations are tax-deductible.

Positive Performing Arts Association’s mission is to make a positive difference in a negative world, through the Arts…locally and globally.

Globally, PPAA strives to unite Artists worldwide in becoming positive influences on our youth and culture.

PPAA reaches out to Instructors, performing arts schools, and performing artists, of all varieties, providing resources and opportunities for them to teach life skills, along with the Arts, to financially challenged and at-risk youth and young adults. We partner with them, once they join P.P.A.A. by agreeing to our Code of Ethics and pledge, in which they agree to use their artistic talents in a socially positive and responsible way, and assist them in becoming positive influences on our youth and young adults around the world. 

Our Partner Schools, Studios, and Instructors can utilize our nonprofit status to procure business donations which will be used to scholarship financially challenged students into their programs. 

THE ARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE.

We also reach out to mainstream entertainment industry artists that are so influential in the culture of young people around the world to help change the culture of our youth, and young adults, one artist at a time.

Locally, PPAA utilizes the discipline and passion of the performing arts to motivate at-risk youth and young adults to make positive changes in their lives. 

We combine the teaching of the Arts with other programs designed to keep them on track or to get them back on the right track.

Besides professional Arts education in dance, drama, and other art forms, we offer mentoring programs, drug awareness education, life skills education, and partner with other programs all designed to assist our students in reaching their full potential.

As our students progress in our program, the older students will become leaders and mentors, upon qualification, to the younger students. We believe this cycle of student/leader/mentor will groom our students into the future leaders of our nation and the world.

We strive to bring balance into the lives of the youth and young adults in our program…physically, mentally, and spiritually, all of which the performing arts encompass.

This program has reached hundreds of youth and young adults. There are numerous testimonies of many lives that have been changed in our program…young people coming out of gangs, depression, drug abuse, etc. Several say the discipline and confidence they’ve developed while in our program helped them attain their professional goals. In fact, our students have gone on to become nurses, teachers, pastors, professional dancers, social workers, even a commercial pilot, and many other professions.

Positive Performing Arts Association was formed after the founders, Kevin and Natasha Firth, saw the impact that dance and the performing arts have on youth and young adults, and how the arts could be combined with mentoring, life skills, and other programs to make a real life changing difference in the lives of youth and young adults, especially those that are considered "at-risk".

  We strive to  make a difference in the lives of youth and young adults of all races, nationalities, and economic backgrounds.
