DANCE

Living in New York City provides our students with the opportunity to study with our outstanding working faculty as well as interact with special invited guest artists. When all of your teachers are Broadway professionals, it is easy to see how high the bar is set. The IAMT students do an average of 13 dance classes a week in Ballet, Musical Theatre, Tap, Commercial Jazz Funk, Hip Hop, Modern/Contemporary and repertoire. We dance more at IAMT than most college "dance programs".

Work with those who DO at IAMT!

ACTING

IAMT is also the only musical theatre program in the country that teaches "The art of the BREATH™" acting technique created and developed by IAMT Acting Head Mr. Michael Minarik. Acting is a deeply personal experience, and we want our students to have a broad palette of colors to paint with.

BOOTCAMP
