Countless studies have shown that arts education enhances children’s development and academic success — and it’s not just about singing or dancing.
The arts help teach teamwork, focus, discipline, creativity, and collaboration.
At Red Mountain Theatre, our after-school classes are a great way for kids to try out a new skill or dive deeper into their love of theatre. In the fall session beginning Sept. 30, Red Mountain Theatre will offer acting and dance classes for ages 7–18.
“We work to make the classes fun and inclusive for everyone — whether they’re serious theatre kids or just trying something new. And some of thosefirst-timers fall in love with the stage after just a few classes,” says Daley Dressler, Academy Director at Red Mountain Theatre.
Most classes are just $10 per hour when purchased as a bundle, and financial aid is available for any child who qualifies.
Dressler has introduced a new Teen Master Class Series this year, featuring seminars with industry professionals on topics like stage combat and playwriting.
Adults can join the fun too! Fall classes for adults begin Sept. 8. These classes are also $10 per hour when bundled, and drop-ins are welcome for those who can’t commit to the full session.
“It’s a low-cost way to try something fun,” Dressler says. “We get people calling all the time saying, ‘I’ve never done this before — do you think I’ll be able to keep up?’ I always tell them, all you need is enthusiasm and good shoes, and you’ll have a blast!”
