Musical Theatre Performance Classes at BYPC
Our Bedford, NH performance classes top off a well-balanced performing arts education when taken in addition to our acting, movement, and music lessons. With multiple class levels for ages 4 and up, students in these performance classes learn not only how to be a part of and act in musical theatre productions, but how to combine their many talents, produce stellar group dynamics, and practice performing techniques. In the youngest level of performance classes, listening, observation, memory, focus, concentration, and imagination skills are introduced, and those skills are built further in the intermediate level and refined in the higher levels. Regardless of past experiences and skill levels, participation in this type of specialized performance training in a fun-filled and nurturing environment leads to performers who appear to be natural-born stars!
Only the BYPC Companies require additional classes and participation in productions; however, we do encourage performing students to take a variety of BYPC classes and to take advantage of using their new skills to engage live audiences when presented with performing opportunities throughout the year.
