Jazz and Musical Theater – Identity Dance Company

Jazz and Musical Theater Classes

Jazz is a very popular, high-energy form of dance. Made popular on Broadway but now also very mainstream, Jazz combines kicks, leaps, jumps, turns, and everything in between! Learn body placement, movement, expression and proper technique!

Musical theatre is all about performance! Highlights of this class are lip syncing, facials and how to incorporate our facials into every single performance. The Dance aspect of this class will follow technique guidelines from ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop; and finally working on our acting.

All Jazz and Musical Theater Classes perform in Identity’s two Annual Shows

Musical Theater Beg

Musical theater is all about performance! Highlights of this class are lip syncing, facials and how to incorporate our facials into every single performance. The Dance aspect of this class will follow technique guidelines from ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop; and finally working on our acting. It is important for dancers to allow themselves to let go and act weird and crazy! The more dancers allow themselves to be fully immersed into the style of musical theater, the easier it will be for them to find their passion. Dancers will start to recognize what they feel most comfortable doing in musical theater and how they want to be portrayed as actors. If you are enrolled in this class, you’ll have the opportunity to be a character in our studio shows! Don’t be scared, anyone is welcome!

Musical Theater Adv

Once you have mastered the basics of musical theater, you will be placed into musical theater advanced, at the teachers discretion. We will be focusing on everything taught in beginning/intermediate, but kicking it up a notch. The advanced class incorporates more technique to go along with our acting, AND we will advance to singing. (Note: no one will be forcing you to sing. You can stick with lip syncing!) We encourage singing at this level to advance our performances and shows that we do as a studio. At this advanced stage, dancers will master their character portrayal in every performance. If you are enrolled in this class, you have the opportunity to be a character in our studio shows! Don’t be nervous, anyone is welcome!
