Fall 2026 Workshop Classes

THURSDAY DANCE WITH JOHN RAY

Thursday nights are back at RSPA with TWO complementary dance classes designed to build stronger, more versatile performers!

✨ LINE & MOTION

Lyrical + Ballet Fusion

6:15–7:45 PM

This class focuses on the technique behind strong movement — line, control, balance, flexibility, musicality and storytelling. Students will strengthen the foundations that carry into every style of dance while learning how to move with more confidence, intention and expression.

✨ STAGE & SCREEN JAZZ

Commercial Jazz + Musical Theatre

8:00–9:30 PM

A high-energy mix of commercial jazz and musical theatre choreography focused on style, performance quality, versatility and learning choreography quickly. Students will work on making stronger choices, becoming more confident movers and developing the kind of performance skills needed for both the stage and audition room.

At RSPA, we want our students to be true quadruple threats — singers, actors, dancers AND musicians. Thursday nights are a great opportunity to make dance a consistent part of that training.

Students may take either class individually or make Thursday a full night of dance training with BOTH!

In this virtual class, students will focus on the exploration and awareness on their individual speech and personal "accents" as they play with sounds as the building blocks of language. Explore vowels and consonants through an active physical engagement of the International Phonetic Alphabet - (IPA) from both the classical singers' perspective and the actor. Students will work on weekly dictation exercises and learn new tools to further communicate with direct application to songs and/or monologues.

In this introductory course, we will focus on learning and utilizing IPA while focusing on Italian diction, English, and British received. Students will leave with a new understanding of the body as we explore different ways to incorporate speech and vocal production onstage and off.

Tuition: $225

Classes:

11/8, 11/22, 11/29, 12/6, 12/13, 12/20, 1/10

In this virtual class, students will focus on the exploration and awareness on their individual speech and personal "accents" as they play with sounds as the building blocks of language. Explore vowels and consonants through an active physical engagement of the International Phonetic Alphabet - (IPA) from both the classical singers perspective and the actor. Students will work on weekly dictation exercises and learn new tools to further communicate with direct application to songs and/or monologues.

In this continuation of our beginning class, students will strengthen their understanding of using IPA by learning new symbols in both German and French diction. In addition, students will work on dialects in the English language that one would most likely run into in an audition - i.e. British, Irish, Scottish, Australian and various American dialects. Whether speaking English with a general American accent, with regionalisms shaped nearby or in a distant country, students work to attain the tools to create the possibility of communicating honestly and fully in any accent!

Building on the foundation you got from Basic Music Theory for Singers, Intermediate Music Theory facilitates your understanding of more advanced musical concepts. In the first week we will have a comprehensive review of all topics covered in the Basic music theory course. From this starting point, we learn all three types of minor scales, more complicated rhythms in new time signatures, and enhance your piano proficiency.

As we progress, the course delves into the subjects of intervals, conducting patterns, and concludes with an introduction to triads. Intermediate Music Theory for Singers seamlessly leads you from the basics to a more nuanced understanding of musical elements.
