Our Story

Balance School of Performing Arts first opened its doors August 2015 in the heart of Penticton. Owners Ashlie Atkinson & Chip Sfat dreamt of opening a school that offered all aspects of the performing arts world. They both come from very different artistic backgrounds and were excited to blend together and share what they both learnt from their years of experience as students, performers, and teachers.
