COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:

ACTING A SONG: Audition Preparation for Ages 12 - 19 Fridays (4 weeks), 12:30-3:30pm This class will give you an opportunity to receive personalized feedback and instruction in bringing a character to life through song! Each week, students will choose and prepare an audition selection and perform it for the class and will then receive coaching in order to more fully embody the material. This class is structured to give all performers opportunities for learning and growth, and no prior performing experience is required. Students may be asked to wear face coverings/masks when they aren’t actively performing.

MUSICAL THEATER DANCE: Ages 12 - 19 Mondays and Wednesdays (4 weeks); 12:30-2:00pm Musical Theater Dance will focus on the fundamentals of dance in a fun, supportive environment. By using music from Broadway musicals, you will gain greater understanding of musicality, coordination, technique, terminology, and strength as they relate to dance. This course will be appropriate for all levels of dance ability – from those who’ve never taken a dance class before to those with more extensive dance training! Previous classes have learned choreography to Hamilton, The Greatest Showman, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, and more. Social distance may be maintained during the entirety of each class.

MUSICAL THEATER GROUP VOCALS: Ages 12 - 19 Mondays and Wednesdays (4 weeks); 2:30-3:30pm This class is a perfect opportunity to learn vocal technique within the context of a group setting! Students will learn group musical theater songs and get to practice their musicianship and vocal skills (no solo singing will be required). No prior performance experience is needed!

SUMMER 2021 CLASSES CLASS EXPECTATIONS, POLICIES, and COVID-19

At TMTO, our classes are similar to our rehearsals: professional, efficient, and FUN, with lots to learn! The following policies apply to all TMTO activities and help ensure that everyone involved has the best possible experience.

Classes-specific COVID-19 policies will be announced closer to the first day of classes. TMTO will follow all COVID-related state mandates and guidance as they apply to TMTO as a Youth Program.

CLASS BEHAVIOR AND EXPECTATIONS • Alcohol, drugs, smoking, and vaping are prohibited. Weapons are not allowed on TMTO premises. Violations will result in dismissal from the program. • Arrive on time for all class sessions. Each minute of each class is valuable. • Be respectful of your instructors and fellow classmates at all times. In order to learn, we must try new things and risk being vulnerable. Our classes are safe places to grow as artists! Disruptive and/or disrespectful behavior is grounds for dismissal from the class. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying of any kind. • Be mindful of others’ personal space, as well as our classroom space. Please clean up after yourself. • Be aware of your language and conversation topics, especially around our younger students. • Remain at the class location for the duration of your session, unless otherwise specified by the Instructor. • Bring a water bottle with you, as our water fountains are closed at this time. We do have a bottle filler which you may use while at TMTO. • While in class, please stay focused and keep talking to a minimum – we want you to have fun with your friends, but we also want to make good progress! You are expected to pay attention and follow the directions of the TMTO staff at all times. Cell phones must be turned off and put away during class. • Classes will not be open for parents to watch, unless otherwise specified by the Instructor. Thank you in advance for understanding. • Refunds will only be offered if the class must be canceled due to lack of registrants. Makeup classes will not be offered due to illness or emergencies. • Students will be expected to wear appropriate attire for class: close-toed shoes (no sandals, flip-flops, bare feet), clothes they can move in freely, etc. No bare midriffs or revealing clothing. • Doors to the TMTO building will be unlocked no more than 15 minutes before class starts, and doors will then remain locked until class is dismissed. Please be prompt in dropping off and picking up your student! • Additional policies and expectations may be distributed prior to the first class.
