音樂劇舞蹈營

In this summer camp course that meets 4 times in 1 week for 90 minutes each session, students will be able to learn more about some of the most popular family friendly broadway musicals by dancing along to their soundtracks. In this course, students will  learn basic musical theater dance steps. Musical theater can encompass all styles of dance (jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, and lyrical) and brings them together with different music. Musical theater dancing is about interpreting the music and being able to use your emotion to express the dance move even more. This course allows us to investigate a different broadway musical each day by starting out with learning more about the musical and then dance to the soundtrack. This is a great course for students who want to try out a different style of dance, or who have tried musical theater before and just want to take an extra dance class! All ability levels are welcome!
