Message from the Artistic Director

At Sleepy Hollow, our mission is to educate, elevate, and inspire our students by creating a safe community of artists. We believe that everyone can enjoy the performing arts, and strive to give our students the tools and opportunities they need to pursue their goals in the arts, and in life.  Our holistic approach to teaching gives us the opportunity to build a family-like atmosphere full of joy and creativity, while still giving our students a strong technical base. 

Sleepy Hollow Performing Artists is a place for artists of all ages, young and old, to grow and learn in a healthy and joyful way. Along the way, we hope to give our students a chance to feel that they are part of something unique and special. Since founding SHPA in 2001, it has been a great privilege to share in this profound experience with so many talented individuals, many of whom return to the studio to share their experience and expertise with the next generation of artists. I look forward to continuing this process, and sharing the arts with the world, one student at a time. 

Best, 

Debralyn Press
Artistic Director





Sleepy Hollow Performing Artists, a 501c3 not for profit organization, was created in 2002 when founder and Artistic Director Debralyn Press invited a group of master artists to work with her in creating a dance and theater studio that would become a safe and exhilarating environment for artists in the lower Hudson Valley. 

In 2008, SHPA moved to their permanent home at 362 North Broadway in Sleepy Hollow, New York. 


We are a non-profit educational and cultural organization. We collaborate, teach, and perform many performances in NY state featuring professional and community based artists, creating a steady and vibrant pulse of energy, inspiration, and creation.


SHPAC is dedicated to promoting growth and self esteem  through the arts while at the same time imparting meticulous instruction in the performing arts. 

Our space is comprised of two spacious dance studios equipped with free-floating professional sprung floors, barres, mirrors, and a professional sound system; a voice and music room; an office; lobby; and two handicapped-accessible bathrooms. The large parking area is next to the studios.
