Musical Theatre Techniques Intensive: Dance
Musical Theatre Techniques Intensive: Dance
Explore the key techniques to becoming a complete musical theatre performer—actor, singer, and dancer. The Musical Theatre Techniques Intensive takes students through a deep exploration of these vital skills under the supportive guidance of an experienced team of musical theatre professionals. This week-long program features morning classes, followed by an afternoon workshop that allows students to dive deeper into either dance or voice. While each student chooses one area for focused study, they will still receive training in the others. The week concludes with a fun, fast-paced showcase presentation.
The Dance session is dedicated to strengthening each student’s technique and artistry. Through daily warm-ups and exploration of multiple Musical Theatre genres, participants will expand their versatility and confidence. The program culminates in a shared performance that highlights their progress and showcases newly-honed skills.
