Musical Theatre Dance at the Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts
A dance-focused, blended program that allows captivating dancers to hone their craft while cultivating their vocal and acting skills. Taught by Broadway and Commercial dance choreographers and Broadway dance captains, MT Dance Performance is incredibly rigorous and physically demanding, with a balance of strong vocal and acting course loads. Add in Gymnastics, Acting for the Camera, and even a Voice-Over course for a well-rounded performer ready to work after graduation. This program is designed for those budding triple threats and those with very strong dance abilities. We offer MT Dance Performance as a two-year program.
