Musical Theatre

Musical theatre classes teach the three core disciplines of musical theatre: singing, acting, and dancing, and how to integrate them into performance. If your student is interested in taking a musical theatre class we HIGHLY recommend they take a Jazz class as well. For the upper levels of musical theatre students are required to take a dance class along with the musical theatre class. Below is what you can expect your student to learn in our musical theatre program. Our program starts at age 3 and goes up to teens.
