New Fall Classes this year!

 Musical Theater Class

We are thrilled to welcome Mark Dampolo to our teaching family at DNE.  Mark will be our Musical Theatre Instructor as well as one of our dance instructors.  Mark studied dance & performed with Lynn Makiej & Brenda Fariole in previous years.  We welcome you to learn more about Mark in our Staff Information on our website.

Musical Theatre incorporates a combination of acting, singing and simple dance movements. This class will provide students the opportunity to discover enjoyable and moving acting exercises, simple movements for musical theatre and an introduction to singing. Using a mixture of approaches, methods and techniques, instruction will be concentrated in acting technique, character study, scene work, improvisation, movement, monologue study and stage direction. The focus of this class is on expression and stage presence. We invite you to explore the world of Musical Theatre!
