Studio D: Arts School for All Abilities
08.31.20
Segerstrom Center for the Arts President Casey Reitz recently announced that the Center’s School of Dance and Music for Children with Disabilities has been given a new name: Studio D: Arts School for All Abilities. In announcing the name change, Reitz said, “We wanted to create a name that would be symbolic of the vast diversity of our community and, especially, honor children and young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities and their families.
Fall enrollment is now open, with the first day of classes on September 16 running through November 21. Space is limited and prompt enrollment is encouraged. All classes will be virtual with live and pre-recorded components. Prior to the live virtual classes, students will receive recorded videos of their teachers, providing the necessary live class material and introducing new concepts they will explore together. Additionally, at the start of the session, each student will receive a Studio D To-Go kit mailed to their home. Kits include props, sensory tools, and instruments. Students will use items from their kits throughout the 10-week session to enhance their digital learning experience. Studio D To-Go is included in the tuition price. (Image shows children enjoying one of the Studio D online virtual class videos available at Center Home on the Center’s website.)
Classes are limited to 12 students and are taught by two instructors. Dance & Music classes are led by a dance instructor and musician. The dance teacher leads movement exercises that develop the students' balance, endurance, and mind-body connectivity. Additionally, the musician not only accompanies classes but also builds upon foundational music vocabulary and concepts. Musical Theater classes are led by a vocal coach and dance instructor. Students explore the three components of musical theater – singing, dancing, and acting. Each class focuses on Broadway-style choreography, interactive theater games, and vocal techniques. In all classes, exercises are adaptable and the instructors tailor lessons to their students’ abilities. Whether in the classroom or in a virtual setting, social skills building is an integral part of each class.
MUSICAL THEATER
Due to popular demand, Studio D is happy to expand our musical theater class to now serve students up to 16 years old! There will be a class for Youth, ages 8-12 and Teens, ages 13-16. Led by a vocal coach and dance instructor, students explore the three components of musical theater – dancing, acting, and singing.

Mobile Detailing You’ll Love
08.28.20
If your car needs some serious TLC and a great detail, look no further than Car First Home (CFH) Mobile Detailing based in Laguna Hills, but they’re mobile so they will go anywhere in Orange County. I just had my car detailed from them and I am so impressed. They spent over three hours cleaning the interior and exterior of my car and the entire detailing only cost $85.
My son didn’t recognize my car after they finished. Depending on the car and what you want done, they can complete the job in as little as 45 mins. Call or email Karl and he will help you out. 949.899.5103
