How to start work on a new musical? In what order: dancing, acting, singing? How to coordinate the lessons and rehearsals in order to accomplish a good performance and, at the same time, to keep the motivation at high level all the time? We will try to answer these questions based on our experience in work with children and youth, also with very talented and average kids together.
