Step into the spotlight with our new Musical Theatre Skills Classes! These classes are for ages 5-7 or 8 plus for 1 hour and are $375 for the 17 week semester. These high-energy classes introduces young performers to the exciting world of musical theatre through singing, dancing, acting, and imaginative play. Each week, students explore the building blocks of performance—learning fun choreography, practicing songs from kid-friendly musicals, acting out stories, and even creating their own sound effects with foley tools. Through creative games and group activities, children build confidence, coordination, and stage presence while working together to bring mini scenes and musical numbers to life. Perfect for little stars with big imaginations!
