For 40 years, TADA! has offered year-round classes at our onsite location as well as in-school residencies and after-school programming in both public and private schools across New York City.

Musical theater and storytelling are the cornerstones of our work with young people. These art forms provide the foundation of our signature curricula, combining the process of exploring musical theater skills, the power of student voice, and the magic of performance!

We offer diverse curricula that vary by program and location, and we can also create custom curriculums to meet the needs of your community. Our two signature programs are our most popular:

Skill-building: This program balances the process of skills development in the areas of singing, dancing, and acting with the joy of musical theater. All classes culminate in a final sharing where students present musical numbers showcasing skills learned in the program from various Broadway hits and TADA! original productions in a cabaret-style showcase.

Playbuilding: This program combines musical theater training, storytelling, character development, and student voice. Using a show title as inspiration, students devise their own original mini-musical as an ensemble. All classes culminate in a final performance where students perform their very own mini-musical for a live audience.

All TADA! programs are based in ensemble-building techniques that facilitate an active, equitable, and inclusive learning environment where cooperative, personal, and creative growth are fostered in a structured and supportive setting. TADA! Education is rooted in the core belief that we are better together.
