Butler Community Arts School
Enriching Lives Through Arts Education
The Butler Community Arts School (BCAS) is dedicated to offering exceptional arts education to the community, including private lessons, group classes, and summer programs.
Private Music Lessons
Private lessons provide one-on-one instruction with Teaching Artists in a wide variety of instruments and voice. Whether learning the basics, refining technique, or preparing for auditions and performances, we offer flexible scheduling that allows for personalized learning at any age or ability level.
Group Classes
Group classes promote creativity, collaboration, and community through shared learning experiences. Offered throughout the year, these classes include youth and adult options in music, creating opportunities for participants to grow together in an engaging and supportive arts environment.
More information about our upcoming classes will be available soon!
Butler Ballet Summer Intensive
The Butler University Ballet Summer Intensive brings together dedicated dancers from across the country for four weeks of rigorous training and artistic growth. Under the instruction of Butler’s renowned dance faculty and guest artists, students refine their craft through daily classes in ballet, pointe, variations, modern, and more!
We Believe
We believe the arts should be accessible to everyone, not a privilege for a few.
In the importance of providing high quality instruction in music, dance, theatre, and visual art to Indianapolis and the surrounding area.
In the vital provision of opportunities for Butler University students majoring in the arts to teach and interact with the community in order to better prepare them for careers as artists and teachers.
Teaching Artists
BCAS programs thrive thanks to our dedicated Teaching Artists, a group of educators composed of Jordan College of the Arts students, alumni, and community professionals.
