WINTER CLASS

Tap, Jazz & Ballet Class: Grades 7 - 12

Tap, Jazz & Ballet: ACT II Cast

Tap, Jazz and Ballet are foundational in musical theatre so they are important skills to develop. Here is your chance! This is a non-performance class that is designed to increase your technique in tap, jazz and ballet.

All ACT II class options (Tap, Ballet/Jazz, Scene Study) are scheduled on Friday after school so students can develop in multiple genres back-to-back. Students do NOT need to be in our current productions in order to take this class. Any current or previous ACT II performer is welcome to register!

Prerequisite Required:

Students must have been or are currently cast in an ACT II production
Students need to be at an intermediate to advanced level of dance (Students who are fairly new to tap or jazz, should sign up for Dance for Musical Theatre instead.)
