		Class Description Itty-Bitty Stars is a drama class designed for your itty-bitty star at home. The students are taught a warm-up that they practice every week. They then learn fun dance moves, activities that relate to that week's theme and then read the weekly story with the instructor. After seeing the story in print, the students spend the rest of the class acting out the action of the fictional work they just learned about. For extroverts and introverts both, this class offers excitement for the out-going child and structure for the shy child. This is a beginner level class for Little Stars. This class will follow similar structuring as Little Stars, but within a condensed time to allow for better focus of the students.
		Class Outline Each week will be a lead by a unique class theme with warm-ups, music, and dancing followed by a similarly themed book that the students will read with the instructor. They will then partake in exercises relevant to the book. They will use costumes and/props to enact the story from their imaginations. The final show will be formatted the same way, but parents are welcome to watch the final performance.
