NEWS & UPDATES
Our week long Mini Camps are still open for registration! ✨
Broadway Kids (Ages 5-7) 🎭
It’s time to sing and dance! Each day, we’ll learn a selection of kid-friendly musical numbers and practice singing and dancing together to tell a story. We’ll play theater games, learn dance steps, and begin our musical theater journeys together. On the final day of camp, we’ll invite our families to enjoy a 15-minute showcase!
Broadway Dance Intensive (Ages 8-11) 🤩
It’s bootcamp for Broadway dancers! Learn essential body positioning, technique, and dance combos that will prepare you for any musical theater role! Learn how to pick up challenging choreography quickly, and how to use your body to tell a story and convey character.
Advanced Dance Intensive (Ages 12-17) 💃🕺
Nail that drill team audition, get into showchoir, improve your confidence for JTF, or just spend a week building your dance skills for fun. Be ready to work hard and strive for excellence as you tackle challenging combos and master new steps.
