MUSICAL THEATER
SUMMER CAMP
Two of the essential elements that make the magic of Musical Theatre possible are: truth and story. Truth speaks to the human connection. Story speaks to the journey traveled.
At Stage Dor's Musical Theatre Summer Camp - the best program of its kind in Marin County - students learn how to find the story and their own truth in dance, speech and song. They’ll work with Broadway show tunes, the scenes that lead into them and lots of great choreography. Students learn new skills, have a good time and gain confidence in the process.
The program includes instruction in Contemporary Dance, Modern Jazz Dance, Ballet, Hip Hop, Broadway Musical Theatre Dance, Performance Training, Vocal Training, Acting, Choreography, and Costume Design.
