Cabaret Kids

Musical Theatre Classes and Parties for Kids Owned by Shelley Meskin, professional actor/dancer and singer, Cabaret Kids aim is to create a happy, safe, creative environment where we can expose children to a world of imagination through song, dance and drama while learning life skills. How Does Musical Theatre help my child? It is important to believe in yourself. It is important to trust your voice not to shake when you need it to be strong. It is important to walk into a room of intimidating people and be able to stand your ground politely. It is important to make eye contact. It is important to be empathetic. It is important to be able to read others body language. And it is so important to be creative. Enrol here What Do We Learn at Cabaret Kids? We expose children to the art of singing, dancing and acting all at the same time, the importance of clarity of speech and story-telling, how to warm up their body and voice and how to stay calm and focused. We concentrate on how to show emotion not only in the face, or feel them inside, but also how to physicalise these emotions in our bodies. We exercise our memories through poetry and memory games and now and then we work with percussion instruments to learn to understand rhythm and tone. We learn the all-important art of breathing. Breathing to stay calm, breathing to energise ourselves, breathing to project our voices... I am big on breathing! Cabaret Kids Parties You choose a theme, we'll bring the music, dress-up and props! Add some action and voila, you have your own personal birthday show! You get to show the adults how it's done at the end, at your own venue.
