Para Bajitos

Our theater company focuses on the developing acting skills for children from 3 to 17 years old in the Miami area who are fluent or want to start developing the Spanish language since all classes are in Spanish.

For us, all families should get their kids close to the performing arts and specificly to theater because it opens the doors to creation!

Classic tales, musical works, different dances are some of the styles offered by the children's theater and surely children will be more attracted to one and/or the other. In our classes we make kids exercise their own thinking as you try to understand what the play means while increasing their self-esteem, they learn to respect and work together as a team player. Also through our methods they learn to control their emotions, discover what is discipline and perseverance at work.

Our acting lessons can also be used to:

1 - Reinforce academic tasks such as reading and literature.

2 - Update the child in subjects such as language, art and history.

3 - Help in the socialization of children, especially those who have difficulty communicating.

4 - Improve children's concentration and attention.

5 - Transmit and instill values.

6 - Encourage children to reflect.

7 - Encourage the use of children's senses.

8 - Motivate the exercise of thinking.

9 - Stimulate creativity and imagination.

10 - Make children feel more secure.

11 - Help the children to play with their fantasy.

The best age for children to start attending our classes is from the age of three.

At this age, the child will be able to focus little by little and his memory power is high. Children absorb everything they listen.
