Musical Theatre Dance Training (Grades 8-12)

This Program starts in January on Thursdays 6:30 pm Feb 11, 18, 25, March 4

"Fame! I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly high!"

This class is designed for all levels to access a variety of musical theatre dance styles. Each week we look at the class as a mock dance call with the focus on performing the choreography you learned as well as technique. The goal of this class is to become more familiar with musical theatre dance styles and to learn and pick up choreography. This class will consist of a short warm up, a breakdown of the steps, and small group performances. This will be designed with limited space in mind and all choreography is adaptable to your comfort.
