BEGINNER BROADWAY STARS PROGRAM

(AGES 1.5-4 YEARS OLD)

Beginner Broadway Stars Program is designed for children in the early stages of life. These students learn the foundations of dance by learning to use the space around them, learning to work in large groups and developing an understanding for rhythm and body awareness. All of these aspects will help your child develop cognitively and socially. This will also prepare your children by learning everyday life lessons such as: taking turns, following directions, listening, sharing, and communicating needs and feelings. In this fun and exciting beginner program, instructors will utilize parachutes, beams (hand-eye coordination), bubbles, hula hoops, scooters, scarves, dance games, rewarding stickers, and so much more!

THEATRICAL STARS PROGRAM (GLEE & MUSICAL THEATER)

BDA’s vocal program is growing by leaps and bounds year after year! The Glee and Musical Theater classes are for those students who want to shine on stage with not only their dance moves, but their vocals and acting skills. Our vocal classes will teach your child to tell a story theatrically, control their tone, pitch, and learn to read sheet music. This class not only offers vocal training, but teaches your child how to perform with their facial expressions and their emotions on stage. Our Theatrical Theater Stars Program is offered recreationally and competitively starting at age 5. In order to be on the competitive team an audition is required.

Premiere dancers will compete at one regional competition, have the opportunity to perform at nationals and at community events and festivals.

Testimonials

Congratulations, Christine!  What a beautiful show.  You truly out did yourself – the organization, the support from your staff, friends and family, all the performances and most of all, as I told you yesterday, the dance with you and your daughter.  I cried, it was so amazing, especially when you carried her.  It was so emotional - it doesn’t matter how big and tall and grown up they get, a mom  can and will always be able to “carry” their baby girl.  Awww.  Loved the whole thing.  You are wonderful!  Congratulations again.
~Peggy
