Theatre is an exciting world to explore, but the options for acting classes for kids can be overwhelming. Here is our guide to Acting Classes and Lessons, whether you are starting your acting journey or taking it to the next level!
In an Acting Class for kids, students learn to express themselves through dialogue and movement alongside their peers in a group setting. For instance, in our upcoming class, Acting: Dynamic Duos, students will build trust, timing, and teamwork through exercises that strengthen connection, communication, and performance skills on stage. Learning from a skilled instructor and working alongside peers, students will meet for about two hours a week to hone their skills. Acting classes increase confidence in students. After taking an acting class, students are more comfortable with public speaking, leadership positions, and group projects.
In an Acting Lesson, students meet one-on-one with a skilled instructor to hone their acting skills. Teachers assign materials such as monologues for students to learn. As students learn these materials in lessons, instructors give individualized feedback to help the student learn and grow. First Act has many talented instructors that are able to help students reach their full potential on stage!
Individualized training allows students to move at their own pace, whether they are a beginner or have been acting for years. Students can inquire about specific techniques that are interesting to them instead of sticking to a class curriculum. Throughout the semester, students and instructors can shift their focus to what feels necessary and relevant for the student. Also, students will have an opportunity to showcase their hard work at our end of year recital in the spring!
Students who are just beginning their acting journey should look into classes like Acting: Mastering Auditions & Callbacks or Acting: Through the Ages. If you’re looking for something that also includes training in singing and dancing, check out Musical Theatre: Disney on Broadway or Musical Theatre: Page to Stage. Students who are ready to take their acting to the next level should explore Acting Lessons, as they will provide the most individualized experience.
