The Golden Age of musical theater, spanning roughly 1940–1960, gave us some of the most iconic dance numbers in theater history. Legendary choreographers such as Jerome Robbins, Michael Kidd, and Agnes de Mille helped shape the era with groundbreaking movement and storytelling that continue to inspire dancers and performers today.

In Golden Age Showstoppers, we’ll dance our way through unforgettable show-stopping numbers from stage and screen! Students will be challenged to embody characters, capture the distinctive movement styles of the era, and build stamina, power, and performance quality. Along the way, we’ll explore what made this period so influential and discover why it continues to be celebrated as the Golden Age of Musical Theater.

Some of the possible Golden songs we'll work with are:

• Shipoopi - Music Man 
• Barn Dance - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
• Farmer and the Cowman - Oklahoma 
• I Got Rhythm - Crazy for You 
• Shaking the Blues Away - Holiday Inn 
• Moses Supposes - Singin in the Rain
• The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing - White Christmas 
• No Strings (I’m Fancy Free) - Top Hat
