TODAY’S THE DAY! 🌟

The doors are open. The studios are ready. And a brand new year at Brio begins today.

For some students, today means coming back to a place they already know and love.

For others, it’s a first class. A first teacher. A first song, step, scene, painting, or new friend.

We don’t yet know exactly what this year will bring — what they’ll discover, what they’ll create, what they’ll learn, or who they’ll become along the way.

That’s the exciting part.

Here’s to trying new things, finding your people, building skills, making memories, and discovering just how much is possible.

Welcome to Brio’s 2026–27 season. We’re so glad you’re here.

And if you’ve been meaning to register but haven’t quite gotten there yet, don’t worry — it’s not too late to join us. Many of our classes still have room for new students.

SOME KIDS SHINE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
SOME KIDS CREATE IT. 🌟

NEW THIS FALL: Technical Theatre Design

Sets. Props. Costumes. Lighting. Sound. Scenic design.

This hands-on class is for creative students who are fascinated by the world behind the curtain — the artists, designers and problem-solvers who help turn an empty stage into something extraordinary.

They’ll explore how technical theatre helps tell a story, develop their own ideas, and learn how the pieces behind the scenes work together to create what the audience sees, and participate in creating the magic behind our full-scale musical theatre productions.

This is for ....

The designer.
The builder.
The artist.

The theatre kid whose creativity comes alive behind the scenes.

This is their place to shine.

Classes begin September 14.

Registration is open now.

TEEN MUSICAL THEATRE — YOUR TURN. 🤘

We told you something big was coming.

Our 2026–27 Teen Musical Theatre production is:

ROCK OF AGES: YOUTH EDITION

Big vocals. Big characters. Big energy.

And, obviously...
BIG. HAIR.

Set to some of the biggest rock hits of the ’80s, Rock of Ages is funny, theatrical, high-energy, and packed with opportunities for our teen performers to develop their acting, singing, movement, character, and ensemble skills.

This is going to be a very fun year.

And yes — there is still time to join the cast. Open to students ages 12+

JUNIOR MUSICAL THEATRE — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 💚

We can finally announce our 2026–27 Junior Musical Theatre production:

SHREK THE MUSICAL KIDS!

Shrek. Fiona. Donkey. Lord Farquaad. Fairy-tale creatures. Big laughs. Big personalities.

And underneath all of that fun, a story about friendship, belonging, and discovering that the things that make us different are worth celebrating.

We are so excited for this one.

Our Junior Musical Theatre students will spend the year developing their acting, singing, dance, character, and ensemble skills as they work together toward a full musical production.

And there is still time to join the cast. There are a limited number of spaces remaining for performers ages 5-13.

YOU ASKED, WE'VE ANSWERED - KINDER KIX IS BACK! 🥋

We've heard it again and again: "Do you have karate for younger kids?"

For the past few years, the answer has been no.

This fall, that's changing.

Kinder Kix is returning to Zanshin Karate, giving our youngest martial artists a program designed especially for them.

Through movement, games and age-appropriate martial arts instruction, Kinder Kix introduces children to the fundamentals of karate while helping them develop coordination, focus, confidence and listening skills — all in a class that's active, positive and FUN.

It's a first step into martial arts, designed for little bodies, growing minds and lots of energy.

And we know some of you have been waiting for this one.

🥋 Kinder Kix returns this fall!

✨ More than a team. More than a performance. A place to belong.

If your child loves to perform, our Performance Teams offer a unique opportunity to grow as a dancer while building confidence, friendships, and unforgettable memories.

Unlike traditional competitive dance, Brio's Performance Teams focus on strong technique, artistry, community involvement, and the joy of performing. Students have exciting opportunities to take the stage throughout the year while learning the value of teamwork, dedication, and encouraging one another.

Every dancer is challenged to grow, celebrated for their progress, and supported by instructors who believe in helping each student become their personal best.

💙 Ready to shine on stage while being part of something truly special? We'd love to welcome you to the Brio Performance Team family.
