| About Kids Kabaret FOUNDATION Kids Kabaret Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization owned and operated by Marlene Ramirez, long-time resident of Manhattan Beach. The concept was developed in response to a need in the community for a venue where children ages four to eighteen years old could perform music, dance or theater in a fun atmosphere as well as have a gathering place for special occasions and celebrations. This need has been further demonstrated by the tremendous participation in talent shows across the South Bay schools. Kids Kabaret Foundation wanted to reach out to more communities by going to schools, inner-city envirmonments, and economically impacted children and families. We send our teachers out to the sites to teach various performing arts. At the present time, we are in 38 schools, servicing more than 3000 children and are continuing to expand. |
About Our Teachers Kids Kabaret Foundation takes pride in our intense audition and screening processes. Our teachers bring a wealth of experience teaching children in their fields. In addition, all instructors bring to our program professional experience from stage, screen, and television. This helps bring a different perspective to the classroom. All these elements enable the children to have an outstanding Performing Arts education, as well as an exciting culminating event at the end of each session. |
