Every singer moves.
Dance classes are an important part of the MTB experience for both the Musical Theater Studio and the Opera Studio!
Taught by Broadway experts
Musical Theater Studio students benefit from dance training five days a week at MTB. Dance classes are taught by experienced Broadway experts and include Musical Theater styles like Ballet, Jazz, Theater Dance and Tap.
We welcome applications from young artists who are primarily dancers, as well as those who are primarily singers. Dancers will find that in addition to our excellent dance instruction, our voice lessons emphasizing vocal development and healthy belting can give you tools that will make a difference in your career.
Often a favorite
While some of our Opera Studio singers are initially surprised that MTB’s opera summer program also includes dance class two or three days a week, it is often one of their favorite parts of the MTB experience by the end of the program.
The classes incorporate exercises and techniques based in ballet, ballroom, theater dance and yoga.
“The physical side of opera keeps growing in sophistication... It’s starting to look a lot like choreography on opera stages.”
