Students ages 5-16 will break into smaller groups by age to explore the magic of movement in our enchanting musical theater dance workshop for kids! Creativity is unleashed through rhythmic expression, as we learn fundamental dance techniques, and set the stage for a dazzling performance to A Friend Like Me, the iconic Disney song from Aladdin.

Join us for a toe-tapping, twirl-filled adventure where young performers can dance their way into the spotlight with a final presentation for family and friends at the end of the session around 11:50 a.m.

Taught by Samantha Farrar, who originally hails from Newcastle, England, but has been living the Michigan life since 2015, we are thrilled to welcome Sam back as a much beloved movement teacher. Having trained from a young age, Sam is currently teaching at Spotlight Dance Academy in Spring Lake. Since moving to Michigan, she has been involved in a plethora of Musical Theatre programs in addition to White Lake Youth Theatre, including Whitehall Schools, Arts Council of White Lake, Spring Lake Middle School, Artios Academies of West Michigan, and Central Park Players. Sam is excited to once again be dancing with the wonderful people at The Playhouse, where she has previously choreographed and taught. Bring on the dancing!

A note to parents/caregivers:
PLEASE FEED STUDENTS WELL PRIOR, TO HELP GIVE THEM ENERGY! They run through calories quickly:)

Please pack a water bottle and less-messy snacks.

Please have students dress comfortably to move and in layers for changing temperatures.

Tell the kids to relax, come ready to be welcomed, make new friends and have a GREAT TIME!
