— What Is The Broadway Experience —

A musical theatre class
with a real performance.

This is a Musical Theatre class with an additional performance opportunity. It's the experience that teaches young performers what it actually takes to put on a show — and then puts them on a stage to do it.

Musical theatre is a type of theatrical performance that combines acting, singing, and dancing to tell a story. It typically involves a scripted storyline with music and lyrics written specifically for the production — frequently performed in theatres and often produced on Broadway. The form has become one of the most popular live performance traditions in the world.

In our Broadway Experience class, dancers learn the technique side — Broadway-style jazz vocabulary, theatrical staging, character work, and choreography drawn from real shows — and then put it all together for a culminating performance in our black box theater.

— What You'll Learn —

Six pillars of musical theatre.

What makes a triple-threat performer — taught in the room and on the stage.

I.

Broadway-Style Jazz

The technical foundation — Bob Fosse to Andy Blankenbuehler — jazz vocabulary that's specifically theatrical, told in the body.

II.

Singing With Movement

Breath support, lyric phrasing, projection — how to sing a number while executing the choreography that goes with it.

III.

Acting Through Dance

Character work, intention, storytelling. Why this character moves this way — and how to show it past the back row.

IV.

Show Repertoire

Choreography drawn from real productions — A Chorus Line, Chicago, Hamilton, Wicked — the dances every working theatre dancer knows.

V.

Ensemble Awareness

Spacing, formations, hitting marks, partner work — the ensemble craft that turns nine dancers into one moment.

VI.

Audition & Performance

Self-tapes, callbacks, cold reads, slate, headshots. The professional skills behind every performance opportunity our students take on.

Dancer's Gallery is a place I consider my childhood and where I grew up. Christie Stark is the most dedicated and welcoming Dance teacher and studio owner I could ever imagine. I looked up to her each and every day and considered her my role model as well as the rest of the dance teachers there. Along the way I made some lifetime friends and memories I will never forget. Dancer's Gallery will forever be in my heart and is the best place for anyone to find their passion in dance. It goes way beyond just a dance studio. It becomes a second home. XOXO

I want to give a HUUUUUGE shoutout to Dancers Gallery on Flamingo near Sterling!! I'm going crazy with just two kids while school is closed, but they opened their doors to all kids today in our community for a free Irma Relief Day Camp and discounted prices the rest of the week until school resumes. It was our first time there, and I can't say enough good things about how well organized it was as well as how kind all the staff were. It's a HUGE studio run by people with even HUGER hearts.

My daughter has been a CAST Member at Dancers Gallery (Competition Team) for 4 years now and her growth as a dancer is just amazing! I am looking forward to a great competition season this year! Their summer intensive is 2nd to none and the instructors take pride in their work and love our children as if they were their own! Love our Dancers Gallery Family!

Dancer's Gallery was heaven on earth for my daughter. She danced there from the age of 3 until she was 14 years old. The teachers are wonderful. The atmosphere makes you feel comfortable to drop your child off at class and run an errand. My daughter would live there if she could! Ms. Christie was not only one of her instructors she became family. I feel privileged that my daughter had the chance to attend! Dancer's Gallery helped make my daughter the confident young lady she is today.

I have been a part of Dancer's Gallery for 18 years and it's been the most amazing experience. Miss Christie is one of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Miss Christie and her entire staff go above and beyond for their students. This new studio in Cooper City is amazing. You feel like home when you walk in there. I wish Miss Christie and the entire staff of Dancer's Gallery all the best in their new home.

From the minute you walk in here, it feels like a family environment. My girls have been dancing here for over 3 years and I have enjoyed seeing them fulfill their dreams in dance.

My daughter has been growing up with Dancer's Gallery since she was 3. She now teaches the next generation of artists. Her career in the arts flourished into: Dancing, Acting, Singing, Modeling, a Marlins Mermaid, Choreography, and has featured as a dancer in the movie "Rock of Ages". I attribute her talented skills to the training, discipline and opportunities offered in this wonderful environment.

Dancer's Gallery is the best dance studio around. Their facility is like no other and they offer a huge variety of performing arts for children and adults. Each instructor brings their own style and offer a lot of freedom of expression while focusing on technique. I love it there and love the fact that my two boys and daughter can share the experience of dancing at Dancer's Gallery. BRAVO!
