Spotlight Theater Company
Children's Dance Theater offers instruction in the Theater Arts as well as dance. If your child is acting, singing and dancing all over the house then you need to give the Spotlight Theater Company a try.
Our Theater program produces three musicals throughout the year. These musicals are date specific, and actors can sign up for one session or multiple. Each session includes a performance opportunity. Actors are expected to provide their own costume within the guidelines given by the director and dance shoes will be required.
Musical theater actors are often referred to as triple threats, meaning they can act, sing and dance. Actors who are looking to start or further their skills. We recommended 2 hours of lessons in addition to their production rehearsals. If you are in our conservatory program no further dance lessons are required for those classes. If you are not currently enrolled in dance lessons, look at our school division class options. You can choose from tap, hip hop, ballet, jazz and more. Class levels are beginning, intermediate and open. An open level means all ages and experience levels are welcome.
