During this period they will not only learn performance skills, but also take part in special activities that look at the appeal of traditional performing arts from multiple points of view. Through a variety of approaches, this course supports you in the process of making friends with tradition.

*The Special Youth course is part of Traditional Performing Arts for Kids.
