ABOUT US
The Musical Theatre Performance Academy provides affordable musical theater training in the heart of NYC. MTPA was founded in 2018 with drop in dance classes starting in January of 2019. We took a brief hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but returned in 2021 with the virtual Triple Threat Training Camp Summer Intensive. 2022 brought back in person drop in dance classes! Located in the heart of New York City’s theatre district, MTPA is situated to offer classes taught by Broadway performers and NYC’s top casting directors, agents, coaches and choreographers. Our students learn how to collaborate with artists, make and maintain industry relationships, set professional goals and understand the business side of the industry.
