ArtsPrep Adventure (Ages: 3* - 6) (East Campus – EEC 123)

September 10 – December 17, 2011Price: $125

Saturdays , 10:00am – 10:50am (No class on November 26th)

ArtsPrep Adventure is a newly created class that provides the opportunity to experience the three main areas of Performing Arts (Music, Theater and Dance), with a creative, interactive, holistic ap-proach. We designed this class around the child in order to teach him/her to make a very creative, personal connection to music, dance and theater, experiencing “hands on” the magical transformation of their natural inclination toward movement and rhythm.

With an around-the-world “playground” approach, students will learn foundations of music theory, storytelling, movement and body coordination thanks to the exuberant energy spontaneously created from sharing rhythms common to their daily lives.

We believe this class, due to its evolutionary activities, will give our students not only a fun introduction to the arts, but will also develop a more well rounded child, capable of connecting different concepts and cultures under a bigger, global adventure.
