About Our Classes and What We Offer

For 6, 7 & 8 year old’s, we use interactive games to teach the basics of: beat, pitch matching, supported breathing and exploring their singing voice, along with body movements and basic dance steps coordinated with rhythm and songs, and being comfortable on stage through pretending and being comfortable with themselves! This group meets for 90 minutes each week and rotates every 30 minutes from Dancing, Singing and Performing classes. The culmination of this group is performing in the Bravo Showcase.

For 9-10 year old’s, we use games and instruction to build additional basic skills, focusing on: rhythms, beginning syncopation and basic vowel placements, as well as group singing/blending and exploring partner singing. They'll also build on basic dance steps and timing put together simultaneously with singing, and character development and improvisation. They will participate in the Bravo Showcase at the end of the season and as an opening act at the Forte! Show Choir performances in December.

For 11-12 year old’s, we put all the previous skills together and offer an intensive show choir experience where they spend an hour together focusing on telling a story through their dance and movement, and confidence being on stage and staying in character. They will then focus 30 minutes on building vocal skills through exploring stylistic sound placements, singing while dancing techniques, balance as an ensemble and expand part singing and harmony. They will culminate their experience by performing a "Mini Musical" at the showcase. This will include a minimum of two songs and acting parts. They will also perform one of the songs as part of the opening act for the Forte! Show Choir performances in December.
