Musical Theatre

Musical Theater 1

We will focus on dance numbers from musicals such as: Annie, Cats, and Billy Elliot and more. Musical theatre uses dance in service of a story, therefore every week, we will learn a dance number from the perspective of a marching band, kids in a spelling bee, or people in an old west show (these are a few examples). We will use a variety of vocabulary and techniques (from ballet to tap to hula to ballroom) but only insofar as they help tell a story. The students should want to have fun, they should like to perform, and they should like stories. Students in this class  will not be required to sing, but it will be offered.
