Enrollment Show Class

Doctor dolittle jr.

Ages 8-16

Instructors: Tucker Tasker, Grace Owens, Abigail Hale

The musical tells the classic tale of a wacky, but kind, doctor who can talk to animals, taking the audience on a journey from the small English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world. When Doctor Dolittle attempts to help a seal named Sophie, he’s wrongly accused of murder and stands trial before General Bellowes. Once pronounced innocent, Dolittle is free to continue with his search for the Great Pink Sea Snail — the oldest and wisest of the creatures on earth.

Enrollment Show Classes are designed to give a taste of the production experience. Auditions will be held at the first class to determine roles. Acting, singing, and choreography are taught weekly. Though much less commitment than a full production, parents and families of the cast are encouraged to get involved with sets, costumes, backstage, or any number of departments that bring the experience together. Students enrolled in the class are automatically cast in the show.

It is a wonderful class to get a well-rounded variety of all dance steps.

Act 2 Core Dance (Contemporary Dance/Body Movement)

We want to move it, move it

Ages 13-18

Instructor: Natalie Hale

Contemporary dance gives students the ability to transform a performance based on their own interpretations. This class is designed to help them learn how to hone in on certain techniques. We will focus on areas like ballet-influenced leg movements, fall and recovery, floor work, and further improvisational elements. No matter your skill level, body type, or experience, this class will move you to move. The versatility of the genre allows the dancer to use the direction of a storyline and music to form characters and entire theatrical performances that stray away from the more traditional methods of storytelling.

cut the strings

Ages 13-18

Instructor: Rebeccah Hale

Ms. Rebeccah brings an acapella course designed to teach you how to make your voice sound more powerful, how to use vocal technique to expand your range and expression, and how to become more confident in vocal performances. Acapella singing also helps singers learn how to rely on their ear rather than an accompanist or background instrumentalist by use of developed muscle memory in the vocal cords to find those pitches. This discipline is a commitment to the pursuit of musical excellence through the development of the human voice and its vast array of artistic expression.
