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!
2. Competitive Program – A more demanding dance program with a mandatory ballet and jazz class element.    
3. Production Classes - These are theatrical plays for two student age groups, and an adult cabaret class.
4. The Saskatoon Mini Express & The Saskatoon Expressions – This program is geared to students who want to perform. Please see the Mini Express & Expressions page for more information

Recreational Programs 

Students attend a sixty-minute class, once per week. They work on movement, voice, and acting exercises. This program is a great introduction to musical theatre or is a perfect option for students who want to do musical theatre but who do not want to attend competitions. Students do not require any previous training and will work in a positive and encouraging environment.  Creative Tots and Kids will end their year with their own special performance.   The rest of our classes are part of the year-end recital May 27^th and May 28^th, 2023.

Each year competitive students have the opportunity of signing up for to perform a solo, or a duet or a trio during the competition season.

Please note that initial fees are for choreography and do not include the actual entry fees which vary by event, or any costume. Once you are registered 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).

A form will be sent home regarding competitions and entering these, along with deadlines for entry. You will not be entered in any competitions until the forms are returned. We do have dates for the new events and if events are not able to run there will be the option of virtual events to enter.

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.
