Arts Program


The Academy provides high quality performing arts instruction in the areas of dance, music and musical theatre.  This enrichment program for developing the arts enhances self-esteem and provides a positive outlet for self-expression.  This program will enable the students to develop and express themselves artistically as well as creatively.

 
 














Dance

Students develop the ability to perform and to organize dance ideas and movements creatively.  They also develop an understanding of dance as an essential component of history and cultural human experience.  Students learn dance technique in ballet, jazz, tap, modern and ethnic dances, dance terminology, history and the elements of production.



Music

Students develop a knowledge of music and an ability to perform music through guided exploration of the basic elements of music.  All grade levels matriculate through our Yamaha Music Program, Kids Encounter to learn keyboard skills.  Our students learn vocal/choral singing, music theory, history & culture and various musical instrumentation. Walton Academy is 1 of 4 Yamaha Music Schools in the State of Florida.



Theatre

Students develop self-expression, individual creativity and cultural awareness through concepts of theatre arts.  Students learn character development, role playing, expression & emotions, stage presence and movement through WAPA’s Character Education.
