Chara currently has 1,200 students, and offers dance lessons and programs for music, acrobatic dance, competitive and performance companies and day camps. According to a June Facebook post, more than 200 families live closer to the Pearland site.


The new location in Pearland is set to have four dance rooms—with one serving as a staged performance space, as well as a separate music wing, more office space, retail, a circle drop-off and parking.
