ADVANCED LEVELS FOR MORE EXPERIENCED PERFORMERS CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE
If your dedicated performer has completed at least one or two years of training in our Musical Theatre Song & Dance program, they may be ready for our Level II or Level III classes! For students who simply cannot stop singing show tunes or practicing their dance combinations for months prior to their performance date, they may be ready to take their training to a new level.
As our Musical Theatre II and higher classes require an elevated skill level from our dancers, they are required to have instructor approval to enroll in the class. If your child has completed at least one year of outside training in this discipline, please email the studio at stagelightarts@gmail.com to schedule this assessment with one of our qualified instructors.
