 Sounds of Carolina was founded in 2016 by Caitlin Whitehouse Sparace, as a culmination of her experience teaching and performing around the world. Since it’s start, Sounds of Carolina has continued to grow through support from the upstate community. What began with one student at the Anderson Arts Center has grown into a wonderful community of teachers and students between Anderson and Greenville locations

Performing as a guest company with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra and in local schools and communities, IB maintains outreach programs including Project Pirouette, Adult Accessibility Class and Storytime Ballet.

 Every child should be given the space to explore what it’s like to be a frog acting as a paramedic trying to save a dying wizard while in a snowstorm on the moon! Drama Kids of Greenville County creates safe places for our kids to step away from their screens and out of their comfort zones to experience life on the moon or the death of a wizard in a blizzard. Our award-winning curriculum promotes literacy, emotional regulation, self-confidence, public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills through the magic and conventions of theatrical play. Our teachers are intentional as they offer specific compliments and constructive criticism to every child in every class. Our weekly after-school enrichment classes are one hour in length during the academic school year, and we offer full and half-day summer camps when school gets out for summer.
