In the charming state of Massachusetts, a land filled with awe-inspiring coastlines, historic towns, and mouthwatering clam chowder, live an extraordinary group of kids. They are not your ordinary kids, oh no, they are the Super Sashaying Shufflers of Massachusetts, ready to dance their way into your heart! Our story brings us to Boston, where the cobblestone streets echo not just with the hustle and bustle of city life but with the rhythmic tap-tap-tap of little dancing shoes. Our high-spirited heroes are known for their magical dance moves which can make even the grumpiest Bostonian break into a smile! Leading this troupe is none other than Jolly Jigglefoot. Jolly is not your typical dance captain; she's got the biggest feet you've ever seen, but boy, can she groove! She twirls and swirls so fast that the wind whips up into a mini tornado, leaving a trail of giggles and guffaws in her wake. From the sandy beaches of Cape Cod to the lofty peaks of the Berkshires, the Super Sashaying Shufflers of Massachusetts and their fearless leader Jolly Jigglefoot, dance to their own beat. They twist and twirl, sashay and shuffle, making every day a celebration of life. So, if you ever find yourself in Massachusetts, keep an ear out for the sound of dancing feet. And remember, if you see a whirlwind of dust approaching, don't be alarmed. It's just Jolly Jigglefoot and the Super Sashaying Shufflers, dancing their way to your town, ready to sprinkle a dash of joy and a whole lot of laughter!

The Drama Studio was founded in 1987 by Steve Hays and a group of educators and parents with a vision to develop an institution where youth could study acting as seriously as they could study music. The program includes a carefully designed curriculum, quality script productions, and a scholarship program to ensure access for all. The conservatory-style approach has two parts—a series of acting classes offered sequentially from introductory to advanced levels, and a series of production opportunities that allow students to audition, rehearse, and perform. We have also added a third part to our approach—community and educational outreach. This includes field trips, touring productions, literacy workshops, and residency programs to make our program more accessible to local young people.
