Musical Theatre Dance Classes

Join us for an exhilarating 6-week dance workshop designed for all levels, whether you’re a seasoned performer or have never danced before! No prior dance experience is needed as all movements will be adaptable to any level or preference. Each class will start with a warmup choreographed to music, followed by basic technique work in the styles of either jazz, ballet or tap. A new dance routine will be taught every week and we’ll also delve into essential audition strategies and learn valuable tips and tricks to ace auditions with confidence. As the grand finale, our final class will transform into a mock audition, where students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a panel of guest judges comprising of Directors, Choreographers, and Music Directors, all of whom will provide valuable feedback tailored to each student. In addition, throughout the workshop, students will learn a simple, yet fun musical theater dance routine to be performed for our panel of guest judges following the mock audition. So come join us and discover the joy of musical theater dance & movement in a safe, judgement-free environment while getting a great workout and having fun!
