AMTC's
LEAPS AND BOUNDS WORKSHOP SERIES
featuring Broadway's James T. Lane,
January-April 2017
James T. Lane, of the current Broadway cast of Chicago, and a member of the Tony-nominated cast of the revival of A Chorus Line, will teach a series of four monthly dance workshops for AMTC. Lane also starred in the Tony-nominated production of The Scottsboro Boys on Broadway and in the show’s West End cast in London, UK.
He credits the performing arts as his way of "getting out" of Philly's inner city projects. He went on to study musical theatre at both Penn State and Carnegie-Mellon before settling in New York City.

The imprint of choreographer, Bob Fosse, is unmistakable. From his work on Cabaret, Chicago, Sweet Charity, Damn Yankees, and more, he created a truly unique style that developed into a technique- a technique any well rounded dancer should have familiarity with to succeed as a music theatre performer. Thanks to James' many years working on Fosse choreography, he has a depth with the work that cannot be offered anywhere else in the Valley. Experience the intricacies that make the art of Fosse, and bring more life into the dance you already know!

Broadway combinations that have been specifically choreographed for male strengths will be learned. The Q&A that follows will address the unique challenges of growing up a young male in the arts.
