-
A division for students who have a passion for the performing arts, crave a professional environment and have a strong desire to grow as both artists and humans. We expect students in this division to have a strong desire to learn at a professional pace and practice both inside and outside the classroom. Students in the Professional Division develop the work ethic, innovation and team work necessary to be highly successful in any field they choose.
To be considered, students must apply via our professional division page and have at least one semester with us either taking ballet, modern or acting.
DANCE DEPARTMENT
The Dance Classes at LHG are professional run curriculums that focus on strong anatomical principles. We teach students of all ages proper alignment and technique, right from the start. Our curriculums are progressively designed from one level to the next to ensure all elements of coordination and kinesiology are in place before students move on to harder practices.
Another major element of our division is our education in artistry. Students in all classes will learn who they are as an individual and gain great confidence in expressing themselves through the style of dance they are learning.
Our Dance Department has both recreational and preprofessional classes. No matter what division they belong to, students will receive a strong education in dance and a full understanding of any specific styles they are practicing!
ACTING DEPARTMENT
The Acting Program at LHG is a professional program designed to teach students strong technique, vulnerability and the work ethic to be successful actors at any age!
Unlike other children’s acting programs, we teach technique right from the start. We don’t believe in traditional children’s theater practices. We find that doing so teaches the student to act inauthentically and teaches them to look at the product instead of the process. Instead, we teach students to use strong technique, live truthfully in the moment and learn to listen and use their imaginations in an informed, vulnerable and honest way. Fostering a deep understanding of the craft right from the start allows students greater freedom in their performances.
Acting is a collaborative craft. Therefore, all acting students need to be strongly dedicated to their classes.
