Give ’Em a Hand

Whether your peewee is prone to theatrical tantrums or outbursts in song, her flare for the dramatic always takes center stage.

Let her enjoy the limelight at Applause for Kids. A second location opens in Marietta this week. Ages 3 years to teens can choose from classes like Pop Princesses, High School Musical, and Hip Hop Jazz.

Perfect for both Broadway-bound babes and those wishing to banish bashfulness, the hour-long sessions meet once a week and culminate in an applause-worthy performance for parents.

After all, the world’s her stage — you’re just here to lend a hand.

Applause for Kids, 4400 Roswell Road, suite 148, Marietta (770-321-4770); 4279 Roswell Road,  suite 701, Buckhead (404-459-0409 or applauseforkids.com).
