Chet Walker and other award-winning Broadway choreographers, directors, composers/arrangers, and musicians work collaboratively to create original numbers on dancers,
with the same fast-pace and rigor required to audition and mount Broadway productions.
Working as members of an ensemble, dancers present the works for the public August 3, 10, and 17 as part of the free outdoor performance series.
Daily morning technique classes rotate among ballet, jazz, and musical theatre dance. Dancers spend afternoons in rehearsal with guest choreographers and musicians. Vocal training, both group and private, is provided weekly; as well as audition and career-building seminars. Attending Festival performances, public talks, exhibits, master classes, and studying in the Archives are integral to this immersion experience in dance.
For 12 men and 12 women, pre-professional and professional dancers with singing and acting experience, age 16 and up. Click here for Chet Walker's bio. For audition and application details, click here.
