OUR MISSION

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

PGY (Performing groups for youth) is a non-profit organization committed to providing a wholesome yet professional environment where students learn singing, dancing and performing techniques as they build their inner confidence! We teach our students to reach for the stars on all levels! The unique space of PGY allows each child to have a ‘lights-camera-action’ performance experience while developing;

* Confidence & Self Esteem
* Performance & Presentation Skills
* Better Social Skills & Friendships
* Vocal Performance techniques
* Variety of Dance movements & styles

Our PGY program encompasses all levels of performers from the first-timers to polished veterans who have gone onto Broadway! No matter who your child may be, PGY is a place where kids can grow and develop at their own pace in a positive, encouraging and non-competitive environment. We allow every child the opportunity to shine regardless of raw or polished talent! During each session, students are taught performing skills while learning a variety of musical theater showcase numbers involving singing, dancing and acting. Rehearsals culminate in on-stage performances at the end of the semester, involving dress rehearsals, costumes, props, sets, lighting, sound, etc. A real show experience!

Why PGY

How Does PGY Work?

PGY classes are divided by school grade and are part of either the Junior Company (preschool – 3rd grade) or the Senior Company (4th- 9th grade). Class sizes vary from 10-14 students in our junior company and 12-22 students in our senior company. Each class meets 1-2 hours once a week for approximately 16 weeks of rehearsal. The last week is a dress rehearsal week, followed by shows on Friday and Saturday night.

Learning is high paced and exciting with new information being taught every class, thus requiring a serious attendance commitment. During a semester, each class will typically learn 5-7 numbers with singing, acting and choreography.

Our Classes are designed to be fun, exciting and to inspire each student to discover the talents within them. Every rehearsal minute is filled with learning dance routines, vocal music, and performance skills. Emphasis is placed on vocal clarity and projection, eye contact, facial expression, body awareness and physical confidence – all skills that will help them whether they end up on Broadway or in the boardroom.

Winter semester starts in late August/early September and has its performance in mid-January; the spring semester begins at the end of January and ends with performances in mid-May. Each show is completely unique and varies in music genre and dance styles. Every students is given the opportunity and encouraged to perform a solo in each show and have their moment in the spotlight!
