Central Academy of Technology & Arts (CATA) is an arts and technology magnet high school in Union County Public Schools serving students in grades 912.

The Dance Academy is part of a collaborative performing arts department that includes theatre, vocal music, instrumental music, technical theatre, apparel & design, visual arts, and music production & recording arts. Students participate in a variety of performance opportunities throughout the school year, including concerts, showcases, and musical productions.
