Dickinson's Little Vaudeville offers a super class for grown-up gals too. It's a drop-in session on Wednesday evenings for an hour. I don't when I've laughed so much and learned so much in a hour. Donna Dickinson teaches simple dance steps and darling old-time songs, and we perform little routines. It's a hoot and easy exercise too. Donna is a delight. She has a wonderful way about her: enthusiastic, encouraging, sweet. Her stories about the days of vaudeville are fascinating. For a good time, call Donna.

What an amazing experience for children! Not only do they get to perform fun variety acts such as dancing, singing, comedy routines, and juggling, the kids are also learning about an important part of our Nation's history. The owner and teacher, Donna Dickinson, is so knowledgable about vaudeville and is very good at teaching kids about the history as well as the routines. I just love it, and my daughter does too!
I'm very proud of our Vaudeville Community. Founded in 1993, we are exclusively the Only Vaudeville School in America. Families, come make new friends while learning about the history of American Show Business. We'd love to meet you! Donna Dickinson
