Class Descriptions

BERKELEY CHESS

The Berkeley Chess School's chess programs are designed for beginning, intermediate and advanced students of all ages. They provide a rigorous training in chess while making the process fun, with skilled and engaging instructors and an eye toward personal growth.

BASIC ANIMATION ART

Animation is in media all around us everywhere we look. From the games we play, to the shows on TV and definitely in the movies we watch. Lots of students are wondering how it's all made and how they too can get started.

BASIC ANIMATION is a class for students 3rd to 5th grade and runs for a total of 6, 1.5 hour classes. The history of animation to supplies and production will be discussed. All materials and supplies will be provided so that each student can complete a short, hand drawn, 2D animated flipbook that they can take home to show their family and friends.

KIDS TAKE THE STAGE “SEUSSICAL JR.”

This performance-oriented class is designed to give beginning-intermediate students a chance to experience the process of putting on a full- length professional play. Each play is carefully selected in character content as to give every actor a chance to shine on stage and limits enrollment to the number of parts in the production.

Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters. The score emerges as a Seussian Gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and you're imagination run wild for "Oh, the thinks you can think, When you think about Seuss!"

Tennis A
