Free Community Classes & Workshops
For Music Theatre Performers
Free Community Classes & Workshops
Annually, we offer FREE dance classes in various styles. In the past we have offered both beginner and intermediate Jazz Technique classes which focused on conditioning, flexibility, and on the technical side of jumps, kicks, turns, body alignment, posture, and coordination. We have also offered beginner and intermediate level Tap classes focused on building flexibility, coordination and speed of movement to produce clear tap-sounds while widening dancers’ vocabulary of tap steps, combinations and rhythms. We have also previously offered FREE workshops for artists (please check the “Workshops” tab for updated information!)
Rainbow Stage’s free workshops aim to hone the skills of musical theatre artists
and provide support for their career development.
