Welcome to the dazzling, dramatic, and downright delightful world of California! Picture a state where the sun has a perpetual playdate with the Pacific, the trees stand tall as if strutting on stilts, and the bear on the flag gets up to all sorts of shenanigans when no one is looking. This is the land where magic leaps off the pages of scripts and lands on stages, and where kids are the stars of the show. Meet the California Drama Kids - an ebullient bunch of pint-sized performers whose infectious enthusiasm could outshine any Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Whether they're in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or somewhere in between, they all share one thing in common - a love for theater that's as deep as the Pacific Ocean itself. Now, let me introduce you to their whimsical mentor, Sir Applause-a-Lot. He sports a majestic mustache that could challenge any broomstick, a top hat with a personality of its own, and a pair of twinkling spectacles that seem to have an entire galaxy trapped inside them. He has a hearty laugh that sounds like a trumpet and a tiptoe that would put a cat burglar to shame. Sir Applause-a-Lot guides our brave actors through their lines, their moves, and their nerves, transforming them into whatever their hearts desire: gallant knights, crafty wizards, or even chattering squirrels. No matter how far-fetched or absurd, there's no limit to what they can become. Their performances are filled with giggles, gaffes, and grandeur that would make even the grumpiest of grizzly bears grin. So, if you ever spot a bunch of kids in California, gesticulating wildly and talking in funny accents, don't be surprised! They're just practicing to steal the spotlight on the stage, under the watchful, twinkling eyes of Sir Applause-a-Lot.

At the East County Performing Arts Center (ECPAC), it’s all about family. When they first opened their doors in 2002, the goal was to create a studio where dancers could grow and develop together as a close-knit group. They’ve been a part of the Brentwood, California community for over a decade, and have had a few different homes in that time. From their humble beginnings to their current state-of-the-art facility, they’ve always had their students and their families at the forefront of their design. ECPAC is a place where kids can be more than just dancers. It’s an environment where dancers can learn to be confident and creative, all while having a great time. The staff at the center strive to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for everyone, so students can explore their interests in the performing arts. With a focus on family, ECPAC has become an essential part of the personal growth of many dancers.
