The 25-strong ensemble will also learn original choreography from Dreamgirls, attend a Broadway performance and more. Participants receive 3 eight-hour days of training in the style of an influential Broadway choreographer or musical and immersion in the historical context of dance on Broadway, masterclasses and workshops with a team of veteran Broadway guest artists, a trip to Motown the Musical, with a post-performance discussion with cast and crew and an exclusive shopping experience at Capezio Shoes and Dancewear.
