All theater incorporates movement, whether it’s a play or a musical! This class teaches students fundamentals in various theater dance styles as well as tools and techniques for auditioning and building choreography. Over the course of 10 weeks, the class will learn techniques from different genres, learn choreography built especially for the students, and build their own number with the help of the instructor. The class will culminate in a final showcase where the students will perform the new choreography they have learned and their own original piece!
