US Grade 4 - 7
Let's celebrate one of our founding fathers through song and dance! In this class, students will learn a new Musical Dance Routine and a Musical Theatre song from the Broadway phenomenon Hamilton the Musical. This class is great for beginning and intermediate levels of theatre, music, or dance. Being online specifically helps challenge the young artist to stay within their space while dancing, learn how to emote realistically with a camera that captures everything, and be adaptive in any situation. This is also for traveling families over the summer that have little stars who want to shine! At the end of the class, students will have their projects, performance-ready. They will record their performances before the last class and we will watch each student's performance and talk about what we have learned! If you loved my previous class "The Greatest Spectacular Online" or musical theater in general you will love this class!
