Our Dance Classes are based on ballet, jazz, modern and stage techniques aiming to give students the confidence, grace and ability to learn and perform routines in auditions. Specific requirements may be accommodated on request, but this course is designed to develop flexibility, strength, and stamina, while demystifying dance terminology with useful tips on how to approach routines.

Broadway Performance Dance
An introduction to the study of style and character movement. Students will learn various dance combinations from a range of Broadway musicals. This training is necessary since most shows today in New York, require that a dancer already know the original choreography before being considered for hire.

Dance Technique
Classes will be offered in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern dance for ages and levels as appropriate. These classes will give children the opportunity to train in all the dance disciplines prior to tackling difficult Broadway choreography.

Dance for the Non-Dancer
Classes will be offered for students who want to learn dance but are not interested or capable of intensive ballet technique. These groups are often referred to as dancers who move well or actors who need to increase physicality. Leads often dance well but are not the most skilled dancers.

Voice Lessons
One on One voice lessons to learn proper singing technique. The technique chosen will be determined by the singer’s voice and type. Although placement remains the same the manner of achieving sound is different for pop, musical theater or opera.
