Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty! You will surely be calling your student a “miracle” as they learn choreography and vocal technique preparing a medley of popular musical numbers from the hit Broadway musical/hit Netflix film Matilda the Musical! Working as an ensemble, this class of “revolting children” will build the essential musical theatre skills for emerging Musical Theatre stars!
This camp will culminate in a performance, or “sharing” on Friday afternoon in our main auditorium.
Musical Theatre Classes at this Age Range work on:
• Understanding choreography
• Learning about proper breath control while singing
• Understanding musical structure and basic harmonies
• Maintaining vocal volume while dancing
• Learning stage directions and theatre vocabulary
• Understanding spacing (finding their window) during choreographed numbers
• Using loud, clear voices
• Moving as a specific character
• Filling a song with clear and distinct character choices
• Working as an ensemble
• Exercising discipline as they work toward the goal of the show
• Having an absolute blast
NCT’s focus is always the healthy development of young people. We believe that the skills that students learn in the process of play-building will serve them in their everyday lives as well as provide a foundation if they choose to continue to more advanced work (which we hope they do!).

NCT offers free extended care for our families. Before Care opens at 7:30 am and After Care closes at 5:30 pm. You can add this service during registration or on a day-to-day basis during the camp week. Extended care consists of supervised unstructured free time. Students are welcome to bring a book or electronic device (that NCT is not responsible for). Additionally, NCT provides coloring sheets, board games, marble towers, etc for students who are interested. Also, during after care, we will also have a daily option of a G or PG-rated children’s movie playing as an activity choice.
