BROADWAY at The Rose Academy students learn the basics of technique in a variety of classes. It is ideal for beginning students OR advanced students who want to hone their skills.

Open enrollment is based upon class availability.

Theater has been a part of my life my entire life. Not born into a “theater family,” I was born with the DNA to create and perform. Thankfully, my parents supported this part of me and enrolled me in dance and drama classes as a young child. I went on to participate in theater in high school, then become a professional actor and dancer, touring all over the country and the world.
FROM OUR BLOG: Have you ever stopped to think about the math and science behind dance? This TedEd video explores the physics behind the ballet move, fouetté. Learn more about how this move -- a seemingly endless series of turns, bobbing up and down on one pointed foot while spinning around and around and around -- is possible.
While we here at The Rose might think the benefits of a musical theater education are obvious, we realize that there may be some people who aren’t aware of the many ways children benefit from learning a classic show tune. Over at the Tams-Witmark blog, Eleanore Speert has started a series of articles about the benefits of musical theater. Her first post explains how musicals boost confidence.
