Nurturing Together

The Beats and Steps Arts Academy, formerly known as CMM White Plains, started operations in 2013 as an Affiliate of the Center for Movement and Music (CMM).

Working towards CMM’s vision of developing children’s full potential in the arts, Beats & Steps operates this performing arts center in consonance with CMM’s instructional goals, honing its students to the highest standards of quality training CMM is known for.

Beats & Steps follows CMM's progressive course offerings in voice, piano, guitar, violin, music theory, classical and modern ballet, jazz, hiphop, as well as short-term special courses in art, yoga, b-boying, Zumba and Taekwondo.

Our Music Department is an affiliate of the London-based Royal Schools of Music (RSM) and participates yearly in its international music exams.

Our Dance Department is an affiliate of the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet (ACB) and enters students to ACB’s training and examination program. We are also a member of the Association of Ballet Academies of the Philippines (ABAP).

Beats & Steps abides by CMM’s balanced and progressive program of study where the level of technical expertise is within the grasp of students of all ages.

Through a comprehensive curriculum of classical studies, the student is provided with a foundation for further training in modern modes of performance. Special classes and workshops complement our structured syllabi.

At the core of the CMM and Beats & Steps training is providing performance opportunities for our students.

The annual recitals, participation in festivals, and choice public performances provide the venue for the students to display their technical and performance abilities, and connect with their audiences.

Together, CMM and Beats & Steps are committed to providing a nurturing environment where students of all ages and levels may achieve their artistic best.
