“It’s a rare talent that makes everything look so easy it belies the hard work and dedication behind it. Astaire had it, Baryshnikov, Rubinstein, certain writers, poets and other brilliant artists of all types. The ones who convey the feeling that there’s still so much strength and energy left unused. It’s a tremendous quality, supremely desired by all artists. YOU want to be that type of artist.”

21st Century Success Through The Arts
Executive Function Skils
In addition to the technical skill developed inherent in our classes, our cirruculum goals also focus on the capabilities the neuro-scientists now call “Executive Function”. These are the naturally-occurring skills developed through experiences in the arts (both as practitioner and audience).
Through the arts, students learn to think and work creatively, both independently and collaboratively, in a supportive and forward-thinking environment. For our KIDS program in particular (and to a certain degree, for our TEEN Programs too), we look at and foster 4 key skills.
*Studies have shown that executive function skills are more important for school readiness andand academic and personal success than a child’s IQ.

The 4 C's For 21st Century Success
Social Scientists And Educators are also now understanding there are 4 Critical things for success in today’s world:
- Creativity
- Collaboration
- Critical Thinking
- Communication
These learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work evnironments in today’s world and those who are not.
We know that 75% of the jobs of the future haven’t even been invented yet, so we need to think about how we provide our children with a foundation for the unknown.
