Teaching dance and musical theater for more than 20 years. It is my passion to be a part of each student's journey in their musical theater education. My program offers a musical theater experience for students ages 2-18. Our "academy" students experience musical theater in a relaxed, safe-space with the opportunity to perform on our Rose Theater main-stage twice per season. "Intensive" students audition for our more focused programming with technique classes that meet their goals. Many intensive students may be members of one of our three student dance companies or or three musical theater companies, "The Rose Brigade."
