Dance basics for actors
If you’re looking to build some new skills or brush up some old ones, you might enjoy this new class at TLT! Dance Basics for Actors focuses on helping you learn about the types of movement and basic dance skills you might need for theatrical and dance performance. Have a hard time keeping up during dance calls? Wish you knew a few more of the basic steps that pop up in most shows? This class is about giving you the tools and building blocks to be successful on stage, regardless of your dance background and experience.
This class meets for just over an hour every Tuesday night in our Stage Right space (between TLT’s main entrance and the 7-11). We’d love to have you join us!

Description:
Yes! We have an improv class for teens, AND we have one for adults as well! If you have fooled around with improv before, you’ll learn ways to improve your game. If not, you’ll gain some great experience in the art of made up theatre. Whatever your performance experience, this class is available to everyone! The skills you can build in a class like this one go a long way to building confidence in yourself as a performer and public speaker.
Now we are offering a level two course! This is intended for those who have taken improv classes in the past, or who have a strong background in the basics. Need help deciding which class is right for you? send us an email at education@tacomalittletheatre.com. We’re happy to help!
