Classes are offered by themselves, or they may be combined in a package of arts, such as dance and drama, music and painting, solo instruments and band, principles of acting and theater workshops, etc. Students are invited to join some of the arts and performing companies, such as the Voices of Heritage Gospel Choir, and invited to perform at community events and schools. Launched in the summer of '96, this Hispanic cultural arts program offers students, ages 6 to 14, an opportunity to explore a variety of arts disciplines, discover their own interests and talents, and gain a deeper appreciation of Hispanic artistic forms and influences. These include Hispanic instrumental and choral music, dance, drama and manual arts. Field trips are included in the Summer Program, Saturday and school-break sessions.
Registration is required.
Students must bring lunch and water or other drink, and snack if desired. This dynamic program introduces boys and girls, ages 7-17, to modern, tap, ballet, and African dance and choral and instrumental music. Young people will have the opportunity to learn the art of painting, drawing, and ceramics. Many young performers will blossom in the classes on mime, improvisation, acting and other theatre arts games. The classes culminate with public performances in our parks or in the Joseph Caleb Auditorium.
