This package includes:
Students in jazz study proper dance technique, fundamental steps, strength and flexibility. Dance classes are leveled by age and skill level - placement will be according to our principal of sufficiently challenging, while never overwhelming your student.
Students in acting will use improvisation, theater games and exercises to stretch their imaginations, learn character building and other basic acting skills. Older students will be able to apply these skills to simple text, monologues, and scenes.
Students in music skills will begin to learn the basics of musical theater style singing, including; reading music, part singing, and how to warm-up their voice properly. They will also begin to build a repertoire of songs that they feel comfortable singing by themselves, or with their classmates in the front of class.
MTW is a performance-based musical theater preparation class, in which students will learn dance, acting, and group vocal skills. Divided into acting exercises, singing techniques, choreography, and more, students will combine all these skills, and put them into action to perform musical selections in the form of a 10-15 minute medley at the end of the semester as part of PMT's MTW Showcase, which is performed at either the Byham Theater in downtown's Cultural District, or PMT's very own Gargaro Theater in the West End.
