Dance Theater (DT) (grades K-12)  Musical Theater is a jazz-based class. During the Fall semester, the class period is spent on technical development. Parents are invited to observe an informal, in-house presentation in December.  During the Winter/Spring semester, 90% of the class period is spent learning choreography to be performed in the upcoming staged musical production. Dances may vary in style and will take on a either a classic jazz, lyrical jazz, Broadway jazz, modern jazz or hip hop flare.  NOTE:  Any student can participate in a DT class.  All DT students become part the cast of the staged Spring Musical Production and are expected to attend their weekly classes as well as ALL of the  mandatory weekend rehearsals.  (see "Calendar" for rehearsal dates and times).
