We had a BLAST working with our “business partners” from Laurel Elementary Magnet School this morning! This creative group of 4th graders nailed their musical theatre class and performance, identified countless artistic and marketing details around the studio, and were presented with their business marketing project.

We can’t wait to see what these scholar/artist/business-kids come up with! The future is SO BRIGHT— Power Up!

It’s another Throwback Thursday, and this time, we’re featuring our very FIRST Stagelighter, Bonnie QB! She and her family literally helped BUILD both of our studio locations. Currently a junior in high school, Bonnie’s passions are dance, choreography, and choir. She ultimately wants to be a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher. Her favorite Stagelight memories are taking our Teen Rotation class when we first opened (focusing on a different discipline every week), filming the Martin Luther King, Jr. tap dance, and performing a solo in one of our Summer Showcases. Her dream role is any character in “A Chorus Line.” Bonnie, it has been a true honor watching you grow as a young lady and as a performer, and we couldn’t be more proud of you!

Today’s Throwback Thursday features Amira N.! Amira is currently a 6th grader and loves dance and art. Her favorite Stagelight memory is performing in our very first Holiday Showcase in her tap routine, “Mele Kalikimaka,” at the Brea Community Center. Her dream role is a dancer/ensemble member in “Hamilton.” When Amira grows up, she wants to be a lawyer. Amira, we are so proud of you and love having you as a Stagelighter!
