Our faculty members are selected from West End performers, choreographers, directors, actors, soloists, and musical directors who each bring to the college the essential ingredients needed for dance and musical theatre student instruction.
We deeply value the need for each student to develop in all the key-areas of the performing arts, from classical technique to current commercial forms of music, dance and drama.
