Dance & Drama Program
The Dance and Drama program provides a fun and enriching curriculum with extensive benefits for participants. Led by top-notch, trained and experienced instructors with a passion for the performing arts and youth development, students learn not only an appreciation of the arts, but an appreciation of themselves. They open their minds to opportunities around them, be it in academics, a more rigorous performing arts program, or their own special place in the community.
“Dear Dance and Drama “Dream Team” ,
Thank you so much for your incredible work with the Art-E Foundation’s Dance and Drama class. Your time, energy, and passion have truly made a difference in nurturing our students’ interest in the arts.
Our Del Lago kids sparkled on stage! The 15 minutes of showcasing what they learned over the past four weeks were a real treat, and it was amazing to see their confidence and talent shine. Your guidance and encouragement made it all possible, and I’m confident you would agree the showcase was a resounding success.
Seeing the joy on the kids’ faces as they performed was truly a gift. Your dedication and creativity helped them grow, explore, and enjoy the arts in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful to have such talented educators and organizers leading this program, and we can’t wait to see the students continue to shine under your guidance!
I hope that our work together will continue to grow over the years… Gemma & Austin, you are AMAZING!!! 🥰”
PROGRAM ELEMENTS:
Warm-up Activities to build strength, flexibility and focus
Choreography to gain spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, rhythm, and endurance
Theatre and Movement games to foster collaboration with cognitive and social-emotional skills
… all of which support participants in gaining confidence in front of an audience while experiencing the fun and joy of the performing arts!
Our program is extremely flexible. We offer scheduling options such as 8-week, 12-week, summer, or year-round sessions, tailored to meet the needs of the students and community. On the longer schedules, we put on a short showcase at the end so that families, faculty and students can attend. This provides the students in our program the opportunity to share what they learn and celebrate their growth.
Since its foundation in 2021, our passionate team of Dance & Drama Program Instructors lead dozens of classes per week in multiple school districts around Orange County. Every year, thousands of students are introduced to the performing arts. A powerful tool that opens their minds and transports their imaginations to a world they didn’t know existed.
We have the honor of inspiring and empowering over 2,000 students yearly through the transformative power of the performing arts.
