How do we decide where to start at SPARC?

If a person is brand-new to performing arts, we suggest choosing a Level One training class that aligns with their age group in school. This will provide exposure to arts learning with peers and prepare them for more extensive opportunities in their future.

Not all classes will be listed as Level One or Level Two. This means the class is open to youth with all levels of experience!

What is the difference between Level One and Level Two courses?

Level One classes are designed for youth with all levels of experience in theatre or performance. Youth are welcome to enroll in level one classes at any time and can continue to participate in them for as long as they’d like!

Level Two classes are created for youth who have at least one year’s previous experience in theatre or performance. Examples of previous experience might include other SPARC programs (camps, classes, productions, etc.) and activities that youth have explored outside of SPARC, too (school plays and choirs, dance classes, private instruction in vocal performance, faith-based choirs or dance groups, etc.).

Enjoy A Class From Home!

We are excited to share some free virtual SPARC classes with you and your family. The short lessons included below provide a small glimpse into what it’s like to take a SPARC class. Enjoy!

STORY TIME

These craft and story time videos are a fun way to connect storytelling and art! First, we’ll read a book. Then, we’ll teach you to use everyday materials you have at home to complete a fun activity that you’ll be proud to have made.
