Broadway Babies
Creative Music Class for Ages 3–5

An imaginative group class where young performers explore music, movement, and creativity in a playful and supportive setting.

Broadway Babies is a joyful introduction to music and movement for our youngest performers. Through games, songs, storytelling, rhythm instruments, and theatrical play, students explore the fundamentals of music and musical theatre in a developmentally appropriate and highly engaging environment.

Each week, students will sing, dance, act, and learn — while building confidence, coordination, and creativity. This class is perfect for children who love to move, imagine, and express themselves.
