Our Mission
Empowering artists by safeguarding the businesses that love them♡
Our Values
Stewardship Matters
We are stewards of the performing arts businesses we partner with, their legacies, and the communities they serve. Our belief that arts education enriches lives drives us to support sustainable business models that provide safe and nurturing experiences for our students and their families, along with meaningful, sustainable career opportunities for our team.
Growth Fuels Purpose
As an acquirer, growth unlocks new resources and allows us to use the benefits of scale to positively impact the communities we support and the industry in which we operate. As educators, we believe in the capacity of students and staff to develop new skills through practice and mentorship, and we are committed to fostering advancement opportunities for individuals who share this growth mindset.
We Are Stagehands
We describe ourselves as stagehands because we embrace a supporting role in service of our students and teachers, and all of our efforts and resources are directed in support of enriching classroom experiences. We believe in staying humble, taking ownership, and solving problems as we have fun working together to further our mission.
Who We Are
Founded in 2019, Ensemble Performing Arts is a partnership that owns and operates 120+ local music and dance schools, along with other complementary performing arts businesses, powered by passionate educators and supported by a team that believes in preserving what makes each school special. Our teachers are at the heart of everything we do, so we obsess over their success.
