Grades 5 - 8 - Tweens in Action!
 Classes begin with exciting theatre warm-up activities and exercises. Many of our activities are musically oriented. Depending on the nature and age of the class, students then engage in the exploration of improvisation, musical theatre or scene study activities. Fundamental theatre skills such as diction, blocking, and stage directions plus vocal skills, and dance skills are reinforced throughout the rehearsals.
Our goal at OnStage is to provide a fun and creative, yet professional, environment where each child can tap into their imagination and creativity. We encourage kids to be different and to be themselves.
The idea of “process drama” (where emphasis is placed solely on the instruction) is not our only focus. We are OnStage - We are about application of instruction to the performance stage. So go ahead, read further and find a class just perfect for your child’s individual talents!

 Kidz YogaBeginner friendly - For tweens only!
At OnStage we believe healthy artists are successful artists. Students will learn basic yoga postures, breathing and diet for a healthy, fit, and confident artist.
The benefits of yoga can be amazing, especially when used in a classroom setting. Children will begin to improve almost immediately in the following areas: focus, calmness, creativity, confidence, respect for others and self, critical thinking skills, and appreciation of different cultures. Yoga will help your child develop a stronger sense of compassion, cooperation, and character. And when used in a group environment, yoga meditation can increase the overall dynamics of your child’s group or classroom because the practice of yoga, especially for this age group, can provide students with strategies to deal with other people, resolve conflicts, and handle difficult emotions and distractions. Yoga has the additional benefit of helping students’ retention of information.
