Musical Theatre combines character with voice and dance to create a triple threat artist. Students work with vocal coaches, choreographers, and acting coaches. Our professional staff excels in the art of musical theatre and performance, and our programming is meant to provide all students with a positive, confidence-building experience.

We have FOUR options for students interested in Musical Theatre:

1. Recreational Programs from preschool to adult – Fun! Positive! Creative!

Each year competitive students have the opportunity of signing up for to perform a solo, duet, or a trio at the competitions. Please note that initial fees are for choreography and do not include the actual entry fees which vary by event, or costume. Once you are registered online, we will contact you about music, partners, etc and set up a rehearsal schedule for you.

You will be taught choreography and instructors will work with you throughout the year, but your success will be directly linked to the effort that you put into practicing and working on your piece(s). We want students to have positive experiences with their pieces at the competition so that they are proud of their performance. Once it is close to the event date, if we feel that a dancer is not confident and ready to perform, we will not let them compete at that event. We hope that with added practice the student will be able to perform at the next competition.  

A form will be sent home in the fall regarding competitions and entering these, along with deadlines for entry. You will not be entered in any competitions until the forms are returned.
Students may enter any genre that they are a registered student taking classes in. Also, if you wish to do more than one solo or duo, register, and then we will contact you and you can let us know what you plan to do and we can adjust your registration accordingly.

Choreography fees are due at time of registration (or in the case of multiple entries, a payment plan should be in place that will have all fees paid by March 31st)
Competition Fees due – December 1st (or in the case of multiple entries, a payment plan should be in place that will have all fees paid by March 31st)
