<h1>Performing Arts Classes for Toddlers</h1>
<p><a href="http://brisbanekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ASPAFTV-GREEN-LOGO-150-x-.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8644" title="ASPAFTV  GREEN LOGO" src="http://brisbanekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ASPAFTV-GREEN-LOGO-150-x--300x109.jpg" alt="aspaftv logo" width="300" height="109" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Creative Critters</strong> is suitable for 3 – 6yr olds. The class is devised around &#8216;learning through play&#8217; The students will experience acting, singing and dancing all in the one class. Think &#8220;High Five&#8221; or &#8220;The Wiggles&#8221; regarding how we include these three areas. Our focus is on providing a safe environment for younger ones to express themselves creatively and learn the basics of the Performing Arts</p>
<p>We encourage our Creative Critters to explore the Arts in a gentle and fun loving way. We are very inclusive and supportive of shy students and usually have them up singing and dancing before you know it. We are very realistic in regard to expectations and results of our younger students and our course curriculum is created to foster all levels of confidence and ability. This course is great for self confidence and learning social interaction in a fun environment!</p>
<h3>Our other classes include:</h3>
<p><strong>Creative Theatre Production</strong> &#8211; 7–17yrs – Locations – Cleveland, Corinda, North lakes, Upper Kedron</p>
<p><strong>Screen Test Training</strong> 7 – 17yrs – Upper Kedron only</p>
<p><strong>Holiday Workshops</strong> 7- 17yrs. &#8211; Every School Holidays , Metro Arts, Brisbane City</p>
