OUR STORY
In July of 2014 we opened the doors and started the journey that was Quincy's Academy of performing arts in Murray Kentucky. Miss Quincy opened the academy because she loved the arts and she wanted to share that love with her new hometown. What started as a few small classes, grew into a beautiful community. We believe the true Dazzle of the arts is a combination of a strong foundation in technique, and the open environment to truly express yourself. We chose to express ourselves with glitter, lots of color, and disco balls.
QAPA through the years offered, Classical and contemporary Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Hip-hop, Lyrical and Gymnastics. We were proud to be the only Non-competition Dance academy in Western Kentucky, rooted in inclusivity, creative freedom, and a family atmosphere. We dance because we love it, it makes us happy, it keeps us healthy, and it is fun!
QAPA was honored to be part of the Murray Arts community for 10 years, the stories we shared on stage, and off have formed the people we are today. On May 18th, 2024, we performed for the last time on stage and closed the doors to our brick-and-mortar building. We thought our story had ended, but it was just the end of that chapter. We cannot wait to see where QAPA Learn Anywhere takes us.
Hi There!
The QAPA Crew worldwide
We are from Left to Right, Miss Aimee, Miss Alycia, Miss Quincy & last but not least Miss Amber! Here's a little bit about ourselves and why we are so great...
Miss Aimee now calls the far reaches of Washington State home, where she lives with her wonderfully talented video-editor husband, Levi, and their charming Corgi, Bramble Berry. In November 2023, she made the big move from Kentucky—a bittersweet transition after leaving behind her beloved dance family. Though the distance is tough, she’s embracing life in the Pacific Northwest, finding joy in new rhythms and fresh surroundings. As she settles into this chapter, Aimee has devoted herself to her volunteer service, helping people find peace, hope, and a meaningful relationship with God. without the dance studio though, she has been supporting herself by training to be an administrative assistant & working at her local gym where she hopes to soon start teaching swim and tumbling classes!
Miss Alycia Has seen many of the beautiful talented dancers and family around Murray this last year. This brings her so much joy and brightens her day! As a dedicated community pediatric nurse, she cares deeply for the people around her and finds joy in making a difference. She has found a new rhythm with less dance but trying to bring creativity and passion to everything she does. She has spent some time helping teach a few gymnastic classes, but QAPA was home. Dance is a place that fills her heart and fuels her life. With excitement and determination, she is ready to begin a new chapter with QAPALA, embracing the journey ahead with gratitude, passion, and purpose.
Miss Quincy now Lives in Central Florida, with her Husband Aaron, and her two children Livia and Cole, and a very chubby raccoon like cat Croissant. Quincy has had a passion for ballet since the age of 2 and has had the privilege to not only perform but share her passion with her students the past 10 years, while creating QAPA with her best friends in Murray KY. QAPA blossomed in to being more impactful than she ever could have imagined and part of her has been missing since the final bow in May 2024. Quincy has spent the last year in volunteer work helping with disaster relief and construction projects all over the country, and growing into her new family, but in her downtime, She finds any excuse to dance, and to continue learning.
Miss Amber is a creative educator, artist, and lifelong lover of imaginative expression. At QAPA she helped dancers explore creativity through movement, art, and play. When QAPA closed its doors, Miss Amber wasn't sure she would find another outlet to share her creativity with aspiring young artists. Now an art and music teacher at a local school, and a teaching Artist with Arts for all, and the Murray Art Guild, an aspiring illustrator and photographer, Miss Amber loves blending disciplines and encouraging students to think outside the box. She believes creativity is an adventure, and she's thrilled to continue that Journey with QAPA in its virtual chapter. Let the QAPALA adventure begin!
all that being said... Not dancing—and not having a dance community—has left a big hole in our hearts and lives. We miss the movement, the music, and the love we shared each week through dance. Now, we’re excited to build a new dance home and welcome back those warm, fuzzy feelings that dance brings into our everyday lives.
Please join us each month as we learn anywhere! We will not only be learning to dance, but also discovering how to be content, joyful, and fully alive in the movement. Together, we’ll build a community that celebrates growth, connection, and the simple happiness that dance brings.
Our time away from QAPA has been hard! We are missing dance and we know you are too!! We are excited and very anxious to see how this new dance online process works. We know anything is possible, so thank you for being here to see how we figure it all out together! Thank you for your patience, passion and love!!
In 2020 we had to teach dance on-line. It was such a learning curve, but we look back now with only the fondest and exhausting memories. We want to keep dancing with our dance fam, but we just didn't know how we could do it being in 3 different time zones, and not having a dedicated dance floor.
Dancing from the comfort of 'Anywhere' is daunting, but if anyone can do it, it is you!! We know you! You already love dancing in your kitchen & down the isles of the grocery store. Why not everywhere else too? This "the world is our dance floor" mantra is a dream we have had for a while, but never had the confidence to give it wings, but now, we’re ready. Ready to step into the wild, wonderful world wide web and share dance, art, and more with you.
