The BTAPC provides a place for our talented locals to develop and exhibit their abilities as well as get exposure to world class artists. We at the BTAPC want to identify, develop and foster local talent as well as add to their cultural life. Many students have gone on to work professionally or have received scholarships to further their studies elsewhere.

Classes are held at the Ballet and Theatre Arts School in Gilbertown and at Southern Choctaw Elementary School, a local public school. The core teaching staff consists of Fred Kimbrough- Director, Svetlana Vasily-Kimbrough - Artistic Director, and Mrs. Courtney McPhearson a former student of the BTAS and a graduate of the University of Alabama with a BA in dance.

We offer classes in classical ballet, gymnastics, jazz, tap, voice and acting.
