Broadway Bootcamp
Broadway Bootcamp is a dynamic program designed to build and improve the self-confidence of participants through musical theatre performance. Participants are encouraged to focus their energy in a creative manner and explore self-expression through acting, music, and movement.
Broadway Bootcamp participants learn the basics of musical theatre performance and choreography and then put them together with the assistance of the facilitator to perform their own scene, song, and dance from a Broadway show. It is a high-energy, engaging experience for anyone, no matter their level of stage experience. The variety of daily games and exercises allow participants to discover their hidden talents and expand upon their natural gifts and creativity. The guided instruction provides a structure so participants can present what they have learned in a comfortable, confident manner.
The primary goal: promote a healthy interest in the performing arts while providing a safe environment for participants to recognize and develop their talents and self-expression.
We will be kicking off our 12th year of operation virtually with a variety of weekly classes for you to choose from from January-March. Look for our summer camps to be announced in April! We offer weekly camps in Muskegon, Norton Shores, Cedar Springs, Rockford, Hudsonville and more!

Oh So Cheesy Cheese Company
WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
Obsession in the making, since 1959. The first batch of bold-flavored cheese spread was created in Michigan by Les Schwarz. He used all-natural ingredients to concoct a creation so mouthwatering, it became an icon at Schwarz’s family-owned eateries. Les’ legacy continued with his grandson, who took the spread into regional Foodservice and Grocery channels, yet always craved sharing his obsession for crafting delectable, daring cheese spreads with the masses. So he assembled the right place, people and flavor profiles. That’s when Oh So Cheesy Cheese Company was born.
We live and breathe ridiculously awesome cheese spreads. Based in Holland, Michigan, our legendary cheese spreads are enjoyed regionally at retail stores throughout Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Plus, we ship to fans and new fans across the nation via our website, ohsocheesy.com; great for gifts, parties, game days, events or just because. Known for outrageously bold flavors and unforgettable names including Curds of Way (Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread), Come to Cheezus (Habanero Cheese Spread), and Makin’ Bacon (Smokey Bacon Cheese Spread).
We’re not just cheese spread makers, we’re fearless innovators dreaming up new ways to meet the demands of cheese enthusiasts everywhere. As supporters of eco-friendly farming, soon we’ll be rolling out recipes using locally-sourced, hydroponic herbs.
