BROADWAY DANCE CLASSES AT ADTC
HISTORY OF BROADWAY DANCE
Broadway dance, usually performed in "musicals", is popular around the world, but it was not until the 20th century in America that dancing and drama became truly integrated and “Broadway dance” was recognized as a new style of jazz dance. Credit for this breakthrough goes to Agnes de Mille, whose ' Oklahoma!' (1943) made dancing an integral part of the story. Equally successful were the dances choreographed by Jerome Robbins for ' West Side Story', which brought a new vitality to Broadway. Robbins, in his turn, influenced other famous choreographers such as Bob Fosse and Michael Bennett. Other famous musicals include 'The Sound of Music,' 'Les Miserables,' 'Cats,' 'The Phantom of the Opera,' and 'Rent.'

BROADWAY DANCE AT ADTC OVERNIGHT CAMPS
....a 5, 6, 7, 8! “And all that Jazz!" Whether you're an absolute beginner or experienced performer, we have some of the best Broadway dance faculty on the planet. Dancers learn fun and exciting routines from selected Broadway musicals. ADTC campers learn the style of Broadway greats like Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins while developing performance technique and facial expression.
Jazz dance is the main focus at our Jazz Dance INTENSIVES. Since we consider Broadway dance a sub-dance-style of jazz dance, Broadway jazz classes are offered at these camps. Our INTENSIVE Jazz Dance Camps differ from our ULTIMATE Overnight Dance Camps only in that the dancing focuses on jazz dance styles alone (as compared to jazz in combination with other dance styles like hip hop & breaking). At our Jazz Dance INTENSIVES, campers take four dance classes per day that explore the many variations of jazz, including Broadway dance - what could be more fun?
