Starting a Dance & Drama program for Home schooled children of all ages

[Alymom71]

I own and operate an established dance studio in Lindenhurst, IL called Waterford Dance Academy and I'm looking to start a daytime dance and drama program for homeschooled children. I have eager instructors who are highly experienced and I am wondering if anyone out there can put me in touch with other home school organizations to customize this program for the interested families. I am looking to begin these classes in September. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You may want to post this question to the state/region you are in under "Finding Your Tribe".

And you should also be able to find groups through a google search, and also check google groups, yahoo groups and facebook.

There is a dance studio near us that does this a program like this annually - but it isn't daytime for homeschoolers.  They do the nutcracker at Christmastime and I think a spring play/musical.  It's very neat.  They find that doing the same thing year after year is great for the costumes - they can re-invest in the wardrobe each year from the ticket sales profits.

Actually my son takes a drama class in the afternoons and loves it.  We are not in IL though.  He prefers to be with 'all types' of kids is what he told me.  After doing things for years with both HS and 'typical' organizations I've found the 'typical' organizations to be the ones that last longer and have a better turn out.  Those results could totally be my location and the demographics where I live but HS classes tend to fizzle out.

Also you should be able to advertise with your studio.
