New York Style Dance Classes In West Haven
7p.m.-10p.m. Tuesday
February 12th, 19th, 26th and
March 4th
Class will be held in the studio above the Quest Fitness Center at
544 Campbell Ave. West Haven CT.
Hello everyone,
We have a new schedule and
a new price for the dance workshop. It’s less of a commitment in time and money
then the original package. Hopefully this will work better for everyone
interested. Please pass this around to anyone you think may be interested. I put
this workshop together along with Michelle Rivers and Carolyn at the gym. We've
got this beautiful underutilized dance studio and people who seem to want a New
York style Theater Dance class. My interest in this is solely to expand the pool
of talent in the area so that when I hold AEA auditions for Cornerstone
Productions I can use local people more often.
A few people asked if
they could barter with me on this so it’s probably a good idea for me to explain
that the only people being paid are the gym, who rents the space, and the
teacher (Michelle). I’m just facilitating it with the hope that it will expand
the pool of actors who can move well or dance. Checks will be made out to PPT
Sports complex and they will pay Michelle. PPT has liability insurance and all
the stuff that no one thinks about which needs to be taken care of in order for
a class like this to happen.
I think the price is a little lower than NYC
prices and will save people a trip into the city.
Below are all the
details
Thank you,
Karl Gasteyer

4
week Adult Dance workshop for actors who want a New York Style class. Taught
by Michelle Rivers.
7p.m.-10p.m. Tuesday
February 12th, 19th, 26th and
March 4th
Class will be held in the studio above the Quest Fitness Center at
544 Campbell Ave. West Haven CT.
The class is designed to be a “Broadway
Dance Center” or “Steps” style class for professional performers who are unable
to get into the city to take classes.
Total price for admission for 4 class
workshop: $100.00 Checks must be received by Feb 7th.
In order for the class
to take place we’ll need to have a minimum of 8 students. No more than 12
students will be admitted so that everyone gets a quality class without over
crowding.
The pricing of this class was based on the cost of taking class in
NYC. If you compare the cost of B’way dance center for a 10 class card, each
class being one and a half hours, you’ll find this to be a little bit less per
hour and a half.
Class description
Class begins with a set
modern/jazz warm-up, and focuses on the combination of isolations, basic ballet
and jazz technique and presentation. Michelle encourages all her students to
come prepared with flat jazz shoes, character heels, knee pads, and proper
form-fitting attire.
From beginning to end, class is structured to give
the student the experience of being in a Company, on stage, working together
through a Company warm-up, rehearsal and a final performance. Pieces are chosen
from classic musicals, and often incorporate blocking, partnering, scene, song
and dance.
The atmosphere is positive, professional, and challenging,
allowing the performers to participate in a powerful Musical Theatre Company
Experience.
Check needs to be made out to PPT Sports complex and
given or mailed to Karl at 784 Savin Ave. West Haven CT. 06516
Karl will hold
all checks until the first 8 have been received. If there is not enough people
to make the class possible checks will be destroyed or if you want them returned
send SASE.
