COCA Curriculum

COCA provides a progressive learning path for our curriculum in dance, theatre, voice, and art and design. Our classes are designed to be taken for the full academic year.

What students learn in the Fall Semester helps prepare them for the Winter/Spring Semester. Our Teaching Artists add more challenging elements or introduce new mediums in the second half of the year. COCA’s Summer Semester also provides supplemental training to further develop and refine their skills.

We recommend that students sign up for full-year classes—both Fall and Winter/Spring Semesters. This helps secure a spot in the full course and ensures that students benefit from the complete learning experience. COCA also offers discounts for full-year enrollment and payment plans to make the commitment more accessible.
