Performing Arts in Full Bloom
Step out from behind the curtain or down into the orchestra pit with spring Performing Arts classes at SAS.
Erika Radin brings Acting and Improv (11215) back to the stage with six sessions starting Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Learn different theater techniques, including pantomime, characterization, and improvisation through exercises, scene work, and games. Develop spontaneity, imagination, creativity, and confidence while working in pairs, small groups, and as an ensemble for a laugh-inducing fun-filled experience.

Musicians also have cause for celebration. New sessions of all our musical instrument instruction courses, in partnership with Hoff-Barthelson Music School, will soon fill the spring air with fresh melodies. Percussionists need wait only one more week for the next session of Group Piano Lessons for Beginner & Intermediate Students (11189) on Thursdays with Delana Thomsen and Ring Your Bell! (11185) on Fridays with Donna Elaine. The beat goes on with World Drumming (11188), starting Monday, April 4, 2022, with Glen Rhian.
If strings are more your thing, Rolf Sturm's Learn to Play the Guitar (11187) begins on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Learn to Play the Ukulele for All Levels (11186) resumes with Andrew Marino on Monday, April 4, 2022. The time is now to pick up a new instrument or refine your skills at one you already know under the tutelage of talented instructors who are all polished performers.
