All students of any ability are welcome in our programs. The staff strives to foster self-confidence, discipline and a love of the arts by creating a positive, nurturing and structured environment where students can grow and develop into strong, talented and creative young adults.

Cody Center for the Performing Arts has been a part of the Big Horn Basin for 42 years. In that time CCPA has taken many students to represent the state of Wyoming at Dance Excellence, an international festival of dance held in Los Angeles, California. Students have also performed in New York City at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, attended many conventions in the area, and have successfully competed and performed at several national and regional events and competitions. Many former CCPA students have gone on to careers in dance as studio directors, dance teachers, and performers.

CCPA is the home of Studio Theatre at CCPA, offering low to no cost performing arts education to adults and youth.
