Learn How to Be a KIDZ BOP Kid! (Intermediate/ Ages 8-12)

* This class meets 4 times: twice a week for two weeks*
KIDZ BOP is the No. 1 music brand for kids, featuring today's biggest hits "sung by kids for kids." KIDZ BOP has sold more than 22.5 million albums and generated more than 6.5 billion streams since the family-friendly music brand debuted in 2001.

The KIDZ BOP Kids have been named Billboard Magazine's "#1 Kids' Artist" for the past 10 consecutive years and were the most streamed artist on Spotify Kids in 2020.

In this two day, small group, ALL LEVELS AGES 8-12 class, the official KIDZ BOP vocal coach and choreographer will teach fans dance moves from the latest KIDZ BOP music videos and vocal techniques using popular KIDZ BOP songs. Learners will receive one-on-one attention from Kelsie and Vanessa and get the opportunity to perform solo or in a group. Each class will be broken up into two parts- choreography and vocals; every student will get to learn from both Kelsie and Vanessa, the team behind the KIDZ BOP tour.

This workshop will focus on both live performance and on-camera techniques; kids will learn how to make a song uniquely theirs by utilizing facial expressions, costumes, and vocal patterns to convey a message on screen. There will also be instruction on how to properly warm up the body and vocal chords. By the end of the workshop, learners will be able to perform an official routine to two KIDZ BOP tracks. Next stop, Hollywood!

**PLEASE NOTE Depending on the section a learner is enrolled in, some learners will start with vocals, then move into dance, and some will start with dance and move into vocals. There will be two separate meetings, with a five minute break in between, on each day. All learners will learn from both Kelsie (dance) and Vanessa (vocals).**
