Fresh Classes, New Approaches, Endless Fun!
TADA! is evolving! We’ve re-imagined our musical theater programs for students ages 4–14, growing our signature ensemble-based approaches with expanded class offerings, giving students more ways to explore musical theater skills & techniques at a wider variety of levels. Our classes are designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and collaboration, spark a lifelong interest in the performing arts, and offer students the tools to shine on stage and in life!
What’s New?
- Fresh Class Offerings: More choices for all ages and skill levels, from playful, exploratory classes for little ones to growth-focused, developmentally tailored programs for older kids and early teens (now up to age 14!)—there’s something for everyone!
- Expanded Class Types: Explore different aspects of musical theater like building a musical from scratch, diving deeper into musical theater dance styles, and of course, our fan-favorite Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance!
- Enhanced Skill Development: Classes continue to draw on contemporary musical theater repertoire to refine performance skills, cultivate creativity, inspire expressive storytelling through music & movement, and encourage individual artistic growth.
This semester, students will:
- Develop & Deepen Musical Theater Skills: Learn techniques in singing, acting, dance, and movement through dynamic Broadway songs, dances, and/or scenes.
- Grow as Artists and Individuals: Explore self-expression and creativity, receive individualized guidance, and get the chance to shine their unique lights!
- Collaborate and Connect: Build teamwork, communication, and cooperation in a supportive, inclusive environment guided by professional NYC teaching artists.
Classes meet in Fall (10-week) and Winter/Spring (13-week) semesters, in-person at 15 W. 28th Street (between Broadway & 5th), and culminate in final sharings for an invited audience of loved ones. Limited spots are available—join us to discover your voice, your skills, and your stage!

Shows like Six, Wicked, Bring it On, Mean Girls, and more provide the fodder for our focus on acting through song and connecting with an audience to truly tell the story. MT Lab isn’t just about performing—it’s about gaining a better understanding of yourself as an artist, igniting new creative sparks, and transforming into your best self – onstage and in life! At semester’s end, students step into the spotlight to showcase their skills for an invited audience in a cabaret-style revue of scenes and songs. *Students may bring songs they’d like to work in class, or tailored suggestions will be offered after the first class.
