Memphis Youth Arts Initiative Performing Arts

Initiative means “to do something” and our Founder and Director Mr. Corey Travis did just that
when he created the Memphis Youth Arts Initiative in Memphis, Tennessee. The program is a comprehensive community performing arts program that offers instruction and performance for Cheer, Majorette & Urban Dance, and Percussion by way of a Drumline. 

Academics and Education have always been important to Mr. Travis and he believes that it is
the key to success in any program such as this one.  Mr. Trenton Miller serves as our first-ever Academic Director who will create and implement a full-scale academic support program.

Our motto is “Creating Leaders through Embracing the Arts!” We hold true to that statement
because we create leaders through the process we take students through preparing for
performances, learning how to juggle school, life, and practices all while maintaining integrity in
everything they do.
