Broadway Dance Instructor: Natalie Wisdom
HUGE BONUS: In addition to our group dance class, students will also have a private lesson to review choreography one on one with Natalie. She will break down difficult steps with you via Zoom, watch you perform live, and offer guidance and feedback.
You will also be expected to film that week’s combination prior to your private lesson with Natalie so she can utilize video playback in your private lesson.
WEEK ONE: LET’S DANCE
• Exploring the origins of musical theatre dance–taking it back to Vaudeville, Variety, Minstrel and Burlesque shows. We’ll learn moves like: the Charleston, Swing, and Classical American Dance.
WEEK TWO: THE GOLDEN AGE
• These musicals changed the game, and made Musical Theatre what it is today. We’ll explore dance styles from classic musicals that have stood the test of time.
WEEK THREE: FOSSE
• Bob Fosse changed musical theatre dance forever. His choreography and technique is one of the most distinct in all of musical theatre history.
WEEK FOUR: FROM THE STREETS TO THE STAGE
• Hip Hop has quickly become one of the most popular forms of dance on Broadway. We’ll learn the fundamentals of hip hop and how it translates to the stage.
WEEK FIVE: BROADWAY TODAY

WEEK SIX: DANCING ON SCREEN
