Musical Theater Class Portraits
Example of Red, White & Blue theme from 2010
The musical theater department at New England Dance Centers in Westfield, MA and Granby, CT will have their class portraits and individual photos taken on March 5 and 6th at the studio where the students study. The specific times are still to be announced.
2011 Performance Shirts
Students will wear their T-shirt that is on the way along with an outfit that they create from the assigned color palette. The pictures in this post are examples of past year’s outfits to help you understand how to create the ensemble. The students should also wear beige jazz shoes for girls and black jazz shoes for boys.
This year’s color palette is hot or florescent colors. The T-shirt (see picture) will be lime green. Suggested colors for the outfit are: bright yellow, hot pink and bright blue. The outfit should be comprised of street clothes (NO JEANS) which can be purchased new or found at second hand stores or even the kids closets! Feel free to embellish and accessories are encouraged!
2009 Musical Theater show: Spring colors
The students can wear their hair any way they like, but it should be off of the face and hats do not work well because the brims shadow the face.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here!

Class structure will contain the full range of theater including: voice, acting, dance, improv games, pantomime, diction & staging.
Students will need to memorize & rehearse at home
I communicate via email: please be sure to have a working email on your registration and/or send me an email to be certain you are on the list.
The studio is not always closed when schools are closed. Please call when you are unsure.
We can still accept registrations….does your child have a friend that would like to join? Free t-shirt from last year’s cabaret if your friend enrolls! (supplies limited/first come)
Theater is about having fun and trying new things, encourage your child to come with an open mind and a willing attitude and we will all get more out of the experience!
There are no costumes ordered, you will be creating your own costume using the mandatory T-shirt (please stop by the front desk to order this before November 1, 2010) and a color palette that I will assign. Pictures of last year’s groups are in our studio foyer if you want to see what has been put together previously.
We are so glad to share the love of all things musical theater with you and your child, thank you!
