The Broward Center offers singing, dance, improv, and acting classes for children, teens, and adults, along with special classes for people with physical and intellectual disabilities. Students may also audition for shows or to represent the Broward Center at community performances.

Fall classes begin Tuesday, September 2, and most run for 10 weeks. Class sizes are limited and tailored to age and skill level, with complimentary parking included. Students who purchase a second class receive a 10% discount on any additional class.
