Programs

The "triple threat' approach used in this class gives children a well-rounded experience and helps them to discover potential in singing, acting and dancing. The Jr. class will focus mainly on large and small group numbers, and the Sr. class will look mainly at small groups and solos. The goal is to put together a final performance while emphasizing the value of the rehearsal process, rather than the pressure of the finished product. This class includes all sheet music and a cd to rehearse with.

Our chorus class runs for 12 weeks, and includes and Ensemble Kids t-shirt. At the end of our session the group will perform at our term recital.

Sing! Act! Dance! Our one week summer camp is a fun and intense workshop-style session that focuses on the three elements of musical theatre. The students will learn numbers and scenes from popular musicals and plays, and expand their range and knowledge of all things theatre through improvisation. This camp runs for one week and includes a small recital for parents and guests on the Friday afternoon.

The Early Stages class is an introduction to music theatre. Children will learn the basics of singing, acting and dancing for theatre, through various games and exercises.

This class is designed to introduce children to acting for the camera. This class takes place in a fun and supportive environment.
