LE JAZZ HOT!!
Michaels class is high energy, fast paced, and athletic. Class begins with a warmup working on alignment, isolations, core strength, and stability. Progressions following will help develop speed, technique, and how to change direction in space. Choreography will be rooted in jazz and will help the dancer focus on dynamics, musicality, and footwork. The vibe of the class will always be about having a good time, maintaining a positive and supportive attitude, while developing your own individual artistry. Can’t wait to see you on the dance floor! Micheal will be on site choreaographing WE WILL ROCK YOU and we are fortunate to have him teaching his NYC class right here in Whitefish Montana!

WE WILL ROCK YOU SCHOOL EDITION
ATP 2025 TEENS SPRING SESSION
WE WILL ROCK YOU is a quirky, eccentric and heartfelt story of outsiders. It is also a creative cautionary tale for the cyberage.
With the Oscar-winning film, Bohemian Rhapsody, the music of Queen is more popular than ever. WE WILL ROCK YOU follows two revolutionaries, Galileo and Scaramouche, on a quest to save rock n’ roll in a post-apocalyptic world where there are no musical instruments and rock n’ roll has died.
Galileo and Scaramouche will join a small group of societal outcasts, the Bohemians, as they fight to take back the iPlanet from the all-powerful Globalsoft, led by the Killer Queen. They will fight for freedom, individuality and the rebirth of rock n roll.
Since 2002 over 16 million theatregoers in 19 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, Popcorn). Elton fashioned this futuristic story around more than 24 of Queen’s biggest hit songs
