Acting, Drama, & Theater
For children, acting can allow them a chance to explore different ideas on who they are or who they want to be. While many children begin playing make believe at an early age, playing make believe isn’t the same as working as an actor. Choreography by Rae offers private lessons, weekly drop-in classes, and on demand courses to help guide young actors who are series about working in the entertainment industry. Students will learn techniques used by professional actors and how to book acting work.

Join Weekly Drop-In Class:
Students must be at least the age of 10 or be actively auditioning. Actors under the age of 10 and without acting experience should consider private lessons or our On Demand course.
This weekly drop-in class is ideal for actors who are looking to practice monologues and scenes regularly. Unlike most youth programs that focus heavily on theater games, this drop-in course is designed to help young actors develop the skills necessary to work as actors. Games play a small role in our weekly sessions, as students will spend a lot of their class time repeating their lines, trying different movement choices, and learning what it takes to survive the audition, the call back, and the performance.
This class is designed for children ages 10-16 and who have some acting experience. Adjustments are made to support students who struggle with reading/ have dyslexia.
Our Class Flow:
– Actors warm-up (Theater Games and Tongue Twisters)
– The Focus of the Week
– Performing
At the end of each session students are encouraged to memorize copy and be prepared to perform the scene in the next session. Students are encouraged to “get into character” by using props and dressing up as the character.
The instructor will provide copy for students to perform in class. Students who have a piece they have chosen outside of class, are welcome to bring it for review by the instructor.
Students are asked to memorize select pieces outside of class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I help my child get into acting?
While the idea of getting on stage or in front of a camera can be exciting, it helps to know what to do when in the spotlight. Being a working actor involves either auditioning for roles or creating roles; actors often have to memorize lines, take direction, learn when to talk, and how to listen. By both children and their parents keep in mind that building a successful career as an actor takes a lot of time, children interested in working either in community theatre or as a professional actor can have a positive experience as they pursue their dreams.
My child is shy, can they have their camera off during class?
No. Sharing your camera is necessary for allowing feedback on physical movements when acting out a scene. It is also very difficult of others in the class to perform opposite of a classmate, if they cannot see the other person.
If your child is concerned about other students “seeing” them contact us to discuss.
What equipment do i need?
Classes are taught through Zoom. You do not need to download the Zoom app to attend. You may use a computer, table, laptop, or smartphone. If you prefer to simply call in, know that the instructor cannot see you.
Do you offer private lessons ?
Yes! You can schedule a private lesson. The private lesson can be used for 1 child, all the kids, or for the whole family. To schedule visit Private Lessons page or contact Rae direclty.
