About YADA
Eligibility
To join Y.A.D.A., students must be at least 7 years old and have an interest in the arts. All students must audition and go through an interview process before being accepted into our program. Class size is limited to ensure the individualized attention and support needed for young developing artists. Auditions are held three times a year for the Fall, Spring, and Summer Sessions.
YADA is a place where all the performing arts come together - acting, singing, spoken word, rap, poetry, music, dance - to create. Each season the students put together one production according to their collective interests and abilities such as a concert or a play. In the creation of the showcase throughout the season, they are trained in voice, dance, and acting with a concentration in their specific roles.
The community that forms through their teamwork is extremely valuable as the students learn about alternative arts-related careers. The YADA curriculum includes parent workshops and consulting for college and career preparation as well as field trips to local performances.
