Welcome to SASPA, the San Antonio School for the Performing Arts was founded in 1984 by Nancy Grossenbacher with two major goals-to provide a quality foundation
in the performing arts for those who desire the arts as a career and to instill and perpetuate a genuine appreciation of the arts in our youth, thereby nurturing the artistic
growth of San Antonio for future generations. Now directed by Scott M. Conway the school has a faculty of professional teachers with a combined total experience of
teaching and performing equal to over 500 years. The school has three state of the art sprung hardwood floors with multi-level barres and mirrors throughout. One studio
has a marley flooring overlay while the other two studios have the flooring exposed for tap and beginning level classes. The largest studio can also be converted into a
seventy seat theater for student performances. In addition there are dressing rooms, music rooms, lobby, kitchen and several offices.
