Summer MT Dance Intensive
The ONLY MT Dance Intensive designed specifically for Beginner + Intermediate dancers
Big Broadway Dreams, but not a lot of Dance Experience?
We can help!
Dance is a key factor in the competitive MT College Audition process. But what if you’re not a lifelong dancer? By the time students reach high school, it’s incredibly challenging to find intensive dance training that targets MT styles, provides a supportive environment for newer dancers, and doesn’t require an extensive commitment to company recitals or competitions.
We get it — so we built a program just for you!
MCA’s Summer MT Dance Intensive is specifically designed to help beginner and intermediate dancers build the skills and confidence needed to tackle the competitive MT college audition process.

" I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The environment was extremely uplifting and supportive, I learned so much about dance, and I gained so many tools that helped me do my best in auditions. My confidence and love for dance grew tremendously. "
