The CSA Student Leadership Team is designed to help students

build upon the skills they are already developing in their dance,

music & theatre classes and apply those same skills to their

every day lives- becoming more self-confident and empowered

to take on new challenges while helping themselves and others

succeed!

​

Through volunteer opportunities both in the studio and

community and studio events, service projects, enrichment

opportunities and more, student leaders will form new

friendships while developing communication, collaboration 

and leadership skills, building character and gaining confidence

as individuals and team players!

Training and Team Meetings

​

As mentioned above, the Student Leadership Team meets throughout the year for training, team building and community service opportunities. Training topics will include strategies for developing communication skills, what makes an ambassador, and how to stay organized and manage time! Throughout the year, Team members will be offered enrichment opportunities to include, site visits to performances and arts organizations, guest speakers and more! 

​

It is important to our faculty that our program not only prepare Team members for their role at CSA, but foster a love of the arts and develop leadership skills. 

​

Student Leadership Team members are responsible for attending all trainings and commitments. Student Leaders will exercise their organization and communication skills by coordinating with the program director and other students in the event that he or she is unable to fulfill a commitment.
