Camp Broadway introduces young people to the world of life on-stage and behind the scenes. Training in acting, scene study, improvisation, music theory, solo and ensemble singing, movement and dance make up the intensive class work. Triple-threat workshops give one-on-one instruction in singing, dancing and acting. It has been proclaimed the “Camp of Dreams” for all those starry-eyed kids who are just beginning to dream of being on Broadway someday. It is a self-contained summer workshop that travels around the country, bringing Broadway to kids.

Aspiring young campers learn about the theater from 10 NY staff members of Broadway performers, choreographers and musicians.

The 40 hours of camp include singing, dancing and master classes for kids ages 10-17 and every kid gets their own headshot, and Camp Broadway t-shirt. With authentic Broadway instructors teaching dance routines and musical numbers at the same break-neck speed as a real Broadway show, Camp Broadway is a fun-filled week of activities designed to teach kids about the serious business of live theater.

is more than just a saying at Safari of Smiles. It’s a jungle inside, too—the kind that kids love to visit. By design, the office of pediatric dentist Ivis Alvarez is family-friendly.

The attention to detail and excellence extends beyond the safari-themed décor to the welcoming, accessible Dr. Alvarez and her staff.

The setting at Dr. Ivis Alvarez’s Pediatric Dental Practice is specially designed to make a child’s trip to the dentist more like a trip to a theme park. The Safari of Smiles theme includes three-dimensional animals on the walls, a saltwater aquarium, jungle sounds and colorful murals.
