Summer Program · Ages 5–8
No experience needed.
An introduction to the world of performing arts.
June 15–19, 2026 · Reno, NV
A Collaboration Between
Everything’s new. Look, listen, notice. A first taste of each discipline. Music, ballet, theater. Nobody has to be good at anything yet. Just take it in.
Now we move. Steps across the floor, melodies that move with us, scenes that pass from kid to kid. Nobody stands still.
Now we pretend. Stepping into characters, trying on voices, letting a story change direction mid-scene. The kids are settled in now, ready to take a little risk.
Now it gets loud. Claps, stomps, silly songs, surprising sounds. Making noise on purpose, watching the room laugh.
Everything comes together. A morning to reflect on the week and the friends they made. Then a showcase for families. The kid who walked in on Monday stands up in front of a room and performs.
Hover over a day to learn more
Sierra Nevada Ballet has been teaching dancers on Moana for 25 years. Sierra School of Performing Arts runs theater for kids who want to act, sing, and put on a real show. Music for Little Mozarts teaches little musicians their first notes on a piano. We all share one building! This summer, we’re opening the doors between us for a week, because art is more fun with friends.
The Daily Flow
Kids begin together, then split into three small groups that rotate through music, ballet, and theater with snack resets between rounds. It keeps the morning moving, lets every child try everything, and makes the structure much easier for families to follow.
Daily Rhythm
The morning runs 9:00 AM to noon, with just enough breathing room between activities to keep younger kids fresh.
Parents welcome to stay and follow the flow with their child all morning.
How the Rotation Works
We split into three small groups so the room stays calm, active, and age-appropriate. The groups rotate in a simple loop.
By noon, every child has spent time in every room. Nobody sits in one place for too long.
Friday Finale
A short circle to reflect on the week, then each group runs its rooms one more time to prep for the show.
A short performance where music, ballet, and theater come together for families to watch.
The program runs across all three partner studios in our shared building.
