Courses - Youth / District 197/Distrito 197 West St. Paul/Mendota Heights/Eagan Area / 197 School Year Enrichment 25-26 / Somerset Enrichment -
197 Youth Enrichment School Year 25-26

Sing! Dance! Act! Join us right after school as we play theater games, learn music and choreography from musicals, and act out a short script. Each session will feature new material, so new and returning students are welcome. Through the performing arts, students will develop imagination, social skills, and a positive self-image. Families are invited to a showcase on the last day of class!

Taught by Character Kids Drama 

Dana Strothenke

Dana Strothenke is the Education Manager for Character Kids, which provides after school theater classes and summer theater camps to elementary schools throughout the Twin Cities. In our classes, students learn the basics of acting, singing, and musical theater dance while playing theater games and having a lot of fun! Our classes are taught by local professional theater artists who create a safe and encouraging atmosphere for students to build character onstage and off!
