What to Wear
Dress code
- Hair: Pulled back and out of the face.
- Attire: Comfortable clothes you can move and dance in — nothing restrictive.
- Shoes: No street shoes on the studio floor; jazz shoes or clean indoor dance shoes work well. Ask us if a specific number calls for something different.
- Jewelry: Keep it minimal so it doesn't distract from performing.

Dr Megan MacDonald
Faculty, Music & Vocal Arts
Dr Megan MacDonald holds a PhD in Musicology from Florida State University and trains musical theatre and voice at the studio. She's the rare on-staff vocal coach who lets your dancer work on singing and dancing under one roof instead of juggling two teachers across town.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child perform? (musical theatre)
Yes! Musical theatre ties directly into our productions, and dancers perform in the Winter Holiday Show and Spring Production. We also run a Musical Theater intensive each summer.
What should my dancer wear? (musical theatre)
Comfortable clothes they can move in, hair pulled back, and no street shoes on the floor. Jazz shoes or clean indoor dance shoes are a good default.
Does my child need singing or dance experience?
No experience needed. Classes are built to introduce all three skills — dance, acting, and singing — at an age-appropriate pace.
What age can my child start musical theatre?
We start little performers around age 4 in Mini Music, then continue through Youth and Jr/Teen Musical Theatre Song and Dance classes up to age 17.
What does a musical theatre class include?
Musical theatre blends dance, acting, and singing, so dancers learn to tell a story on stage. Our classes build performance confidence and teamwork in a fun, supportive setting.
