According to Studio T’s Youth program Director Tamaira Sandifer, “When the kids get here they are overwhelmed with excitement. It amazes me how open they are to new experiences and how quickly they pick up the material and bloom. They have such creative imaginations, learning about dance, theatre, and music only makes the overall experience amazing, for everyone.”

A faculty of professional instructors leads students through a fun-filled exploration of motion, creative play, rhythm and movement, and character development.
