In today's digital age, children often find themselves immersed in screens, missing out on the invaluable experiences that physical activities like dancing and musical theatre provide. At Little Barn in the Hamptons, we recognize the importance of nurturing young talents through engaging and educational classes designed specifically for children aged 3.5 to 5 years. Led by our experienced founder, Kim, and her team of passionate instructors, our Musical Theatre classes aim to reintroduce the magic of dance, music, and storytelling into children's lives.
Building Foundations with Dance and Theatre:
With over 30 years of teaching experience in New York City and the tri-state area, Kim has developed a unique teaching method that inspires children from diverse backgrounds. She understands that dance is essentially fancy walking and uses this concept to make it accessible and enjoyable for young learners. In our classes, children are introduced to the building blocks of dance and tap curriculum, while also learning to listen to music, feel the beat, and express themselves through storytelling.
Our Approach to Teaching:
At Little Barn, we believe in providing a nurturing and creative environment where children can develop their skills and love for dance and theatre. Kim and her team teach with patience and repetition, ensuring that children grasp the basics before moving on to new steps. Our classes are designed to be fun and approachable, with a focus on building the child's dance language and skills. Every teacher adds their own dynamic and creativity to the classes, creating a collaborative and improvisational atmosphere.
A Comprehensive Curriculum:
In addition to dance, we also offer singing and acting classes, allowing children to explore multiple facets of musical theatre. The Little Barn dancers love the opportunity to enhance their performances with singing and acting, adding depth and storytelling to their routines. Our holistic curriculum nurtures the child's creativity, confidence, and communication skills, providing a solid foundation for their artistic journey.
Little Barn's Mission:
At Little Barn, we believe that dance and musical theatre deserve to be experienced in important and inspirational spaces. Our wholesome and skill-based curriculum is rooted in a strong philosophy that encourages bravery, intelligence, and kindness. As children embark on their "yellow brick road" journey, they become dancers, singers, and actors, forging friendships and finding mentors along the way. In our beautiful, creative, and nurturing space, we aim to create a supportive community that fosters growth and creativity.
Enriching Summer and Holiday Camps:
Beyond our regular classes, Little Barn also offers exciting summer and holiday mini camps for children. These mini camps provide an immersive experience where children can further explore their passion for musical theatre, learning new skills, and collaborating with fellow young performers. Our mini camps are filled with engaging activities, workshops, and performances that help children develop their talents and create lasting memories.
