Do you want to learn how to belt in the safest way possible and have fun while doing it? Join Laura Altenor as she takes teens from 13-17 through styles such as musical theatre, a capella, pop, and soul music. In this course, students will not only enhance their  singing but overall stage presence and performance confidence. Students will get the chance to work on solo and group pieces that in some cases will require movement, blocking, song analysis, and so much more! Students will be able to bring their favorite genres into this ensemble and will be able to explore their voice in a whole new way! There will be a performance at the end of the program!
