Peninsula Lively Arts typically produces a ballet and hip-hop version of The Nutcracker every year.
After nearly 60 years in business, the popular dance and arts organization Peninsula Lively Arts officially shut its doors, however, a new, smaller company will continue with similar classes.
The new company, Peninsula Ballet Arts, is run by Greg and Nina Amato, who previously worked at Lively Arts, Debbie Chin, former interim executive director of Peninsula Lively Arts, said. According to the website, the company offers a mix of ballet, musical theater and tap classes for children and adults.
News of Peninsula Lively Arts’ financial position came into sharper focus amid redevelopment plans for the Concar Drive shopping center where the facility is located. The project plans to build 847 units of housing for the site, which raised concerns around the future of the organization last year.
Peninsula Lively Arts’ leadership explored a variety of options to stay open, including participating in the redevelopment process or moving to another location, however, Chinn said previously that the organization would likely have had to close regardless of the development, due to an unsustainable financial model.
While classes and performances are over, Chinn said the organization is still in the process of dissolution and will be selling many of its items soon.
“There will be liquidation sales probably [this month],” she said. “We’re letting schools and arts colleagues know that we have sets, costumes and dancewear.”
