AUDITION REGISTRATION – NO FEE TO AUDITION

Register here to audition for JT Studio's production of The Diary of Anne Frank (One-Act Version). All students must also complete the audition form to be considered for casting.

Directed by Ira Bauer-Spector, this audition-based class will bring the powerful one-act adaptation of Anne Frank's story to life. Through the rehearsal process, actors will explore character and historical context while strengthening their skills in dramatic acting and ensemble work. Students will gain hands-on experience in a theatrical production, culminating in two public performances in one of JT's classroom spaces. Select costume, prop, scenic, and technical elements will enhance the production while keeping the focus on the actors, ensemble, and story.

Grades 4 and up

Step in time and sharpen your tap skills! This beginner-friendly class explores tap fundamentals, rhythm, musicality, and combinations. Add a new skill to your musical theatre toolbox and have some fun making music with your feet! Beginner Tap is designed for students with little to no tap experience, including those who have never taken a tap class or have less than a year of training. Dancers who are familiar with shuffles, flaps, ball changes, and other basic steps but haven't progressed beyond these movements are encouraged to join Beginner Tap to strengthen their technique and build confidence. Tap shoes are encouraged if you have them, but are not required. No prior tap experience is necessary.

Grades 7 and up

Step in time and take your tap skills to the next level! This intermediate class builds on tap fundamentals with an emphasis on rhythm, musicality, technique, and combinations. Strengthen your musical theatre dance skills and have some fun making music with your feet! Intermediate Tap is designed for dancers with at least a year of tap training who are comfortable with shuffles, flaps, paradiddles (also called paddle and rolls), cramprolls, and other foundational steps. We'll place a strong emphasis on musical theatre tap through basic time steps, combinations, and drills for more advanced skills. Dancers who already know Shirley Temples, time steps, and pullbacks will have opportunities to challenge themselves and advance their technique. Students with little to no tap training but strong experience in other dance styles, such as hip-hop, flamenco, or jazz, may also prefer Intermediate Tap. Tap shoes are encouraged if you have them, but are not required.
