Academy & Classes
No experience necessary!
Elementary classes at ATMTC are designed to give children in grades K-5 a well-rounded introduction to the wonderful world of Musical Theatre.
Through acting, song, and dance our students gain valuable 21st Century Skills that will carry them through many areas of their lives as they practice Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Creativity, and Communication in a fun and upbeat setting!
Our elementary classes are designed to meet your child where they are, and take them where they want to go—no matter their skill or experience!
