From Fred Astaire and Bob Fosse to Jerry Mitchell and Susan Stroman, come explore the evolution of musical theater dance in this 6-week course. Whether your goal is to recreationally hone your skills or to book professional shows, this class will take you on a deep dive into character development through motivation of movement while working the technique and strength learned from jazz and ballet dance. This class incorporates 45 minutes of a solid warm-up fused with exercises in technique, followed by 45 minutes of a new weekly combination to fire up your sequence retention abilities and increase your stamina. This class is intended for those who find themselves at an intermediate level and above – drop-ins are encouraged! Taught by Chicago-based Director, Choreographer, and Actress Megan E. Farley, you’ll be sure to dance out of the studio and onto the stage with these hum-worthy routines.
