DANCE

Students develop their creativity, strength, alignment and performance skills as they learn Modern Dance, Ballet, Composition Technology and Principles of Dance. Pedagogy is blended to help students develop their own unique voice as creators with competitive skills to succeed in the real world.

THEATRE

Students learn acting technique, scene study, voice and diction, movement, singing, theatre history, audition preparation, digital (photo & video) resume building, script analysis, directing, lighting design, and stagecraft in addition to exploring performance and acting techniques for full stage classical, modern, and musical theatre productions as well as smaller studio settings.

VISUAL ARTS

Drawing, Painting & Digital Design
Students develop their artistic skills as they progress through classroom assignments such as still life drawing, perspective drawing, portraiture, figure drawing, and abstract compositions using a variety of drawing, painting, and digital design media. We work with our students to help them develop their portfolios and secure scholarships for college.

We employ 43 talented and dedicated educators many of whom are dual-certified in the Arts. This school year we are working with the Lehman College of Education as one of a select group of sites to help develop and mentor new teachers in conjunction with our highly qualified teaching staff.

We have a theater scene shop, dedicated dance studio, a black box theater & a regular full-sized auditorium, and two vocal chorus rooms. Pay us a visit and you'll learn how our community lives up to the highest behavioral and academic standards.
