Musical Theater Skills
Sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and TEENS
This class is for students who are interested in Musical Theater to Strengthen their Musical theater skills! This Musical theater class is a wonderful opportunity for students to improve their stage presence while singing and dancing!
We have long felt that a strong foundation in dance was something MISSING from our Current Musical Theater and “Triple-Threat” programs, and our SO EXCITED to be able to shift our focus this session to a DANCE FOCUSED MUSICAL THEATER CLASS. We will still sing and do vocal work, but Dance skills will be strongly featured this session. We feel that this shift is incredibly timely, as we prepare to put up our first ever Spring Musical in 2026, which will have a STRONG Dance component!
This class meets once a week, and has separate sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and young TEENS. Students will work on foundational Musical Theater dance skills, and learn at least one Musical theater dance number for performance over the course of the session. Students will build foundational dance and movement skills needed as an actor, while improving their confidence on stage! At the end of the semester, they will put on a final Musical performance for family and friends!
Required Class Material - Black Jazz Shoes. Please order your Jazz shoes early and have them with you at every class!

As we discuss the process, we will use what we learn to make our very own short film for all to see!
