Classes

I love acting but I don’t dance. Do I have to take dance class?

  • If you are in the performance track, yes.  TADW dance classes are geared to students from beginners to advanced levels.  You will have fun while increasing your flexibility, fitness and ability.  Students receive training in the areas of ballet and jazz, along with choreography.  

If I’m already in the musical theatre elective, why do I have to take voice?

All students in the performance track take voice classes.  TADW voice classes include instruction in proper vocalization (speaking) and singing techniques to help you build your abilities as an actor or singer.

Is there homework at TADW?

Sometimes. Instructors may ask you to memorize a scene, work on your play or choreograph a short dance number.  Additionally, you will be working on memorizing lines and/or songs for your production or showcase.

Are there grades at TADW?

Yes.  You will receive a letter grade for each of your classes and your elective.  CSUN will mail each student a transcript of grades at the conclusion of the program, which you may take to your school counselor.  Some students have been able to receive credit for their class work at TADW, but you must confirm this with your individual school-counseling department.
