Fall 2023-Spring 2024 CLASS SCHEDULE
MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES:
At Time to Shine, our Musical Theatre classes are focused on building the triple threat musical theatre performer. These classes are divided into three sections where our students can build upon their skills in all three areas of being a musical theatre performer: acting, singing and dance. In the acting portion, our students focus on acting techniques that will build solid characterization skills, safe vocal projection, body awareness and tell stories that are understood by all audience members. Then in the singing portion, students will focus on vocal technique which will build strong breath support, learn and perfect proper mouth and body positions for singing and learn to read music. Finally, in the dance portion, students will learn ballet, tap, and jazz skills and how to use those in various musical theatre styles. Most importantly, students in this class receive the tips and tools they need to be a strong performer by gaining confidence in themselves and in their work. Students will perform in the Fall showcase and the Spring production.
All new students to Time to Shine must begin their training as a Beginner or Level I student. It is then determined by the teacher what level your child should progress to.

Troupe is a company made of students who “performing is their life” and want extra weekly training. This particular group represents Time to Shine in the community, helps with fundraising events for the T2S Scholarship Fund and many other special opportunities. Troupe is an amazing opportunity for the kid who truly loves to shine and is a heavy time commitment. Students who are interested in joining Troupe must re-audition each Fall and commit to an entire year. Students are required to be enrolled in a minimum of 2 hours of Time to Shine classes each week. Troupe Elite members travel each year and attend the JTF Atlanta event in January.

DANCE CLASSES:
At Time to Shine, our Dance program is based on the fundamental elements of technique and skills in ballet, contemporary, tap, jazz and hip hop dancing. In ballet, students will learn and understand basic ballet technique, which includes proper posture and teaching the use of appropriate ‘turn out’. Students focus on the lines of their bodies and being able to move across the dance floor with ease and fluidity in their body. In contemporary dance, students focus on self-expression, storytelling and freedom in movement. It pulls from traditional dance styles like ballet and jazz but breaks away from the strict techniques and movements that make those styles so recognizable. In tap, students develop and demonstrate different sounds, rhythms and movements of the feet. Students develop coordination and rhythmical footwork throughout the class. In jazz, students develop flexibility, core strength and rhythmical coordination of the body. Students will learn how to use their bodies in turns, jumps and choreographed movement. In hip hop, students get to explore this free-form dance style where they learn how to create street-style movements in rhythmic patterns. This is a class full of energy and fun for all ages.
