Breaking Down the Dance Call
If your dream is to perform in a musical, then don’t miss this workshop! Using a fictitious regional theatre production of Mean Girls, Tisch Drama alum and dancer/choreographer Josh Zacher will lead you through a simulation of an ensemble dance call so you can experience what it’s like to audition for a professional show.
This is an interactive workshop so please wear attire and footwear appropriate for a dance class and bring a copy of your performance resume!
Capacity is extremely limited. Due to the nature of this workshop, it will not be recorded or livestreamed.
