- Performers are divided into the following age groups: 6-9-year-olds, 9-12-year-olds, and 13-18-year-olds.
These sessions bring students together in their age groups to learn ensemble songs, work on their acting skills and dance their socks off! They become rehearsals for a performance as the year progresses, and all students have the chance to perform each and every year.
