Discover Exciting Dance, Music, and Acting Classes at Mainstage Open House

Looking for high-quality, fun performing arts classes in dance, voice, acting, or music? Come to Mainstage Center for the Arts Studio Open House; meet the teachers; and learn about the classes, including some new and exciting offerings. This event takes place Wednesday, September 14, 6:30 p.m. in the Little Theatre, Lincoln Hall, Camden County College,Blackwood.
Mainstage teachers are looking forward to this opportunity to greet prospective students and answer any questions they might have about the classes.
“I always enjoy watching the childrens’ eyes light up as they begin developing a rapport with their dance, voice, or acting teacher at this special event,” said Anne Marie Weaver, Mainstage’s Director of Special Projects and acting instructor. “This brief, informative evening can open up a whole new world for students and their parents in our supportive, nurturing environment.”
At the Open House, Mainstage staff will share information about the more than 30 affordable classes offered, ranging from the Kids in Motion dance class for three-year-olds to private vocal lessons for teenagers and adults. They will also highlight new courses including:
  • Acting with accents, 9th through 12th graders will survey basic techniques for learning and applying stage dialects. The class will cover the following dialects: British RP, Irish, Cockney, American Southern, New York-Brooklyn, and more.
  • Shakespeare, this class for high school students is designed for actors of all skill levels and will focus on the development of the modern-day Shakespearean actor.
  • Hip Hop, Level I and II, Level I for ages 10 -14, is an exciting high-energy class that teaches the basics of Hip Hop. Level II, for ages 14 and up with one or more years of Hip Hop, features fast-paced, cutting-edge choreography which focuses on style and form.
Mainstage courses also include ballet, tap, jazz, and Broadway dancing; Zumba for adults; photography; voice, vocal instruction, and vocal coaching; classes in guitar and piano, and acting classes for preschoolers through high school. The acting classes are designed so that each age group has a lot of fun, gains self-esteem, and learns skills at an appropriate level – from imaginative play for preschoolers through more formal theatrical training for older students.
In addition, for the first time in three years, the talented performers of the Young Americans will bring the newest version of their National Musical Outreach Tour to South Jersey. This year’s workshop, hosted by Mainstage will concentrate on voice, dance, and performance techniques led by the Young Americans and their staff. The workshop takes place November 10-12 at Timber Creek High School.
