The 2025 Spring Semester runs the week of February 17 through May 17 2025.

There are so many things that make ATMTC special. I could focus on the top-notch vocal, dance, and acting instruction. I could focus on the super entertaining stage productions. I could focus on the friends the kids make. But this time I'd rather focus on the staff. You can't help but feel it in every conversation, every interaction. The teaching artists, directors, and even those who work behind the scenes...they will blow you away with their passion for not just the performing arts but also for your child in particular. As a parent, that is everything.

My daughter has really enjoyed her class! She is excited to go every week and feels like it's a great combination of fun and learning new skills. It's great that she is getting a chance to meet new people in a fun and creative environment. That does not always happen with after school activities.

My children had so much fun and learnt so much. As a parent it was also a joy to watch my kids come home and put on the music and rehearse their dance steps and lines. I was extremely proud to watch them perform in the Circus Circus show today.
