Dates/Time: Mondays (January 27 to March 3) from 6:45PM to 7:45PM
Location: In person at SPARC
Grades: 5th to 8th
All levels of experience are welcome! Teachers in this class will work with youth at all levels of experience to help them reach their goals.
Youth who have a strong interest in Broadway dance will love this new class! Over the semester, young people will learn and practice various dance styles to build their confidence and experience in musical theatre.
In Dance Studio, each young person will develop an understanding of the healthy habits that build and sustain a dancer's practice. The class will learn stretching and warm-up techniques and understand basic choreographic terms and concepts as they rehearse. In practicing dance, youth will build skills like conveying emotion through movement, building endurance and coordination, functioning as an ensemble, and retaining patterns of choreography over time. At the end of the semester, the youth will perform what they have learned for a small audience of friends and family through an in-class final share.

All levels of experience are welcome! Teachers in this class will work with youth at all levels of experience to help them reach their goals.
In this brand new technical theatre class, students will gain hands-on skills in both the construction of puppets and their implementation on the stage. Did you know almost anything can be a puppet? The Puppeteer's Process will dive into how to create characters from shapes, buzz words, and texture, while working as a group to literally bring a story to life. Topics of instruction include but are not limited to: marionettes, hand and rod puppets, shadow puppets, and bunraku.
Students who show extra interest in building puppets may be invited to lend their skills to construction for our spring play, She Kills Monsters.
