INCORPORATING DANCE, SINGING AND ACTING INTO ONE!
OUR MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES ARE FUN, CHALLENGING AND A GREAT WAY TO BOOST CONFIDENCE.
For our end of year concert each December we produce a Pantomime, a theatrical production in which we tell a story. We tell the story chronologically through the dance routines, acting segments and musical theatre numbers.
The Musical Theatre students play the characters from the story, and in Terms 3 & 4 additional classes may be required depending on their character roll and how many scenes they are in. Upon enrolling in Musical Theatre we will ask each Parent how many additional classes they are willing to take up in order to learn the scenes and rolls for the Pantomime, and what they're committed to do. If you do not wish to take up additional classes that is no problem, we will still assign a character to your child.
A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO VOICE IN PERFORMANCE. THESE CLASSES OFFER A FOCUS ON DEVELOPING CORRECT VOCAL TECHNIQUE, SINGING WITH AN ENSEMBLE AND DISCOVERING AND STRENGTHENING YOUR OWN UNIQUE VOICE AND EXPRESSION.
EACH SINGING STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A USB TO GET COPIES OF ALL LYRICS, PERFORMANCE AND WARM UP SONGS IN ORDER TO PRACTICE AT HOME.
HIP HOP IS A TYPE OF STREET DANCE, AND IT IS OFTEN FREESTYLE. THE HIP HOP MOVEMENTS ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO JAZZ WITH LESS FORMAL TECHNIQUE INVOLVED. FLUID MOVEMENT, SHARP MOVEMENTS, TURNS, FLOOR WORK AND BODY BENDING ARE SOME OF ASPECTS THAT MAKE UP THE COMPLETE STYLE.
