DANCE AT MTB

Dance classes are an important part of the MTB experience for both the Musical Theater Studio AND Opera Studio!

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 to the Musical Theater Studio 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.

While some of our Opera Studio singers are initially surprised that MTB's opera summer program also includes dance class 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.

As pointed out in an article by a prominent opera critic, "The physical side of opera keeps growing in sophistication... It's starting to look a lot like choreography on opera stages." (Alistair McCauley, "Seeking High Notes by Foot,"The New York Times, Nov. 18, 2018)
