performance opportunity
Normally, we would perform in different venues all around town: LSPU Hall, the Arts and Culture Centre Main Stage, small theatres, coffee shops, retirement homes and more. This year, due to COVID-19 Restrictions, all recitals will take place in our warehouse space that we will transform into a black box theatre. We will be able to distance our audience 12 ft from performers, and only solo singing will be allowed.
Songs From Broadway 5 will be limited to class performances only. While restrictions are in place, we will be operating only in class bubbles. Students will perform a 30 minute show for friends and family. We also have December and June recitals in addition to Songs From Broadway 5.

is this for you?
This class is excellent for the first time student wanting to see if this is something they will enjoy. If you find you would like to dive into more opportunity, you can always move into our advanced classes if there is room.
For busy students partaking in lots of other extra curricular activities besides music, this can also be the perfect class for you. This class is for students requiring less take-home work in comparison to the advanced program, where they can still enjoy the benefits of song and dance, building confidence and performing on stage. In this class, students should be able to memorize their materials in class without much at home assistance. For those that need it, extra support is provided by videos we take in class!
