Our teachers
Who is in the room
Hillary, Yasiel and Shardae lead most classes and every show. Other teachers join them for individual levels, and the schedule names the teacher for each class.
Yasiel Montalvan
Music director and voice teacher
Yasiel leads voice classes and plays piano for every rehearsal. He arranges the songs for each season's original shows.
Shardae Crayton
Choreographer and dance teacher
Shardae teaches stage jazz and tap, sets the dances for each production and leads the Saturday audition lab.
A note from the director
Why we put on our own shows
A show written for the students in the room gives each of them something to learn, whether they sing the first line or stand in the last row of the chorus.
We write a new one every year, with parts for different ages and different voices, and we rehearse it the way a theatre does: one scene at a time, until everyone in it knows what it is for.
