Let’s go to the hop and do the hand jive in this fun and thrilling showcase class.

Not all musical theatre stars know how to dance like a pro, but they do know how to move their bodies to tell a story.

This class:

  • Aims to develop a personal movement practice for the young musical theatre enthusiast

    1. Focuses on expression through movement as well as strength training, stamina building, and spatial awareness

    2. Assists students in quicker learning and retention of choreography

This class will conclude with a final showcase of movement; no singing!

Prior musical theatre experience preferred.
