CCM Prep

In our excitement to share our Summer Musical Theatre Intensive announcement, we missed a couple of shining stars! ✨

Today we're giving a well-deserved spotlight to Charlie Lett and Harrison Milthaler. We're thrilled to have them as part of this year's intensive and can't wait to see them grow and perform at CCM. Please join us in celebrating these two incredible humans! 👏🎊

🌟🌟

ICYMI: CPS students from Westwood and Woodford recently performed at the University of Cincinnati through a collaboration with CCM Prep. Through this partnership, students receive specialized instruction in their instrument of choice, and the showcase at UC served as the ultimate culmination of their hard work, dedication and talent.

🎭 Meet the faces of our 2026 CCM Musical Theatre Intensive cohort! ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome this incredible group of artists to the program as they’ll be singing, dancing, acting, and creating memories all summer long!

Let’s give a big round of applause to this AMAZING cohort! 🎉👏🏼

What a fantastic first day of camp! 🎻🩰

Our Elementary Strings Camp and Storytime Ballet Camp campers jumped right in, making music, dancing, creating, and making new friends. 💖

We can't wait for all the fun and learning the rest of the week has in store! 🌟

Did you know? ✨

Our Storytime Ballet Camps are designed to build more than dance skills. 📚

Each camp includes storytelling, imagination, movement games, crafts, and themed activities that help dancers grow in confidence, creativity, and independence. All while having so much fun they don't realize how much they're learning. ✨

Spots are still available! We'd love to dance with your little one this summer. Check out the Storytime Camp themes below. 💗

🧜🏼‍♀️ ✨Mermaids & Pirates (June 1-5)
