One step at a time is the way to Broadway!

Work hand-in-hand with the team of Broadway’s latest hit, Anastasia, in this full day Master Class. Participants will start the day with Anastasia‘s Associate Choreographer, Adam Cates, working on your royal dance moves, followed by a busy afternoon with Anastasia herself, Christy Altomare, to focus on your singing and song interpretation skills**.

Participants should be ready to sing and and perform 16-32 bar cuts of your favorite songs. Bring your sheet music in a 3-ring binder, properly marked and in the correct key. Participants will be working with a live accompanist.
