The Creative Spaces
After-School Performing Arts Enrichment
The Creative Spaces at Mr. D's Music Club is an arts enrichment after-school program for 8 - 12-year-old-kids*. In the Creative Spaces kids explore the arts, build confidence and create an artistic foundation to further their arts education in the areas they find inspiration.
The Creative Spaces includes several fun and unique programs taught by professional teaching artists throughout the school year. All programs include singing, dancing, and acting, but in different applications so kids get a diverse and creative experience in the performing arts. Creative arts are incorporated into the programs as time and space allow.
Each session ends with a performance or showcase for families.
The Creative Spaces allow kids to explore art forms in a safe environment where they are encouraged to take artistic risks, learn new things, and build confidence along the way.
No previous experience or formal training is required.
Mr. D Music Club is about having fun and exploring your child's creative side as they discover new talents, try new things, and make new friends. Join us for a great performing arts program for kids who are curious about the arts!

SUMMER Camp 2024!!
Singing - Dancing - Acting - Art - Fun & Friends
Mr. D's Music Club is a multi-award-winning performing arts summer camp for kids 8-13 years old*.
We have eight (8) weeks of summer camp for 2024.* Each camp week has a fun theme and ends with a performance for friends and family. Campers will sing pop songs, act in original plays, learn choreography designed just for them, and create art for the stage.
Mr. D's summer camp is where kids come to explore their interests in the arts without the pressure to be stars. Every camper shines and is gently encouraged to take artistic risks as they become ready to go for it. Our Teaching Artists approach their art form with enthusiasm, uniqueness, and always a ton of fun!
No previous experience or formal training is required.

Mr. D's Music Club is a real gem!
Our daughter has attended several sessions & always comes home with a big smile on her face & humming new songs. The vibe of the camp is so sweet & inclusive, embracing imperfection, encouraging kids of all backgrounds & abilities, and allowing them all to shine in lovely, silly fun. They all beam at their week end performance, cheer on their cohorts, and you can tell it's been a week to remember. We've enjoyed it so much, that we've decided to try out the after-school program as well. Highly recommend!
