What We
Teach
During the
class, the
students learn
singing,
dancing and
acting in a
rehearsal
situation. They
receive
scripts. They
learn all the
songs and work
on many of the
dance steps.
After a short
period of time,
they are taught
auditioning
skills, and
given a chance
to practice
those skills.
Each class
performs a
production
onstage at the
end of the
session in
front of a live
audience.
Performances
are free and
open to the
public.
Auditions are
judged on their
willingness to
try,
enthusiasm, and
how they take
direction as
well as how
well they
perform their
auditions. The
class
instructors
also take into
account their
behavior during
the classes
leading up to
the audition,
and how far
they have come
since the first
class. Each
class finishes
with a
production
onstage at the
end of the
session.
During the
Fall and Spring
sessions,
classes meet
twice a week
for an hour or
an hour and a
half depending
on the age
group. Fall and
Spring sessions
offer the
Broadway Kids
group two
choices; either
the Red Session
or the Blue
Session. The
Red Session
meets on
Mondays and
Wednesdays and
the Blue
Session meets
on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
Our classes
serve extremely
talented kids,
and kids with
many years of
training, as
well as
complete
newcomers at
all grade
levels. No
previous
musical
necessary to
become a “HITS
kid”.
