More about our advanced training program
At ICDT!, we want our students to gain as many skills as they can for the stage.

Geared toward production students or those with prior experience, these high-energy yet advanced classes are designed for experienced performers who want to bring stronger acting, vocal training, or dance to their work. Through engaging scene study, song interpretation, choreography, and character-driven exercises, students will learn how to connect acting, voice, and dance into one dynamic performance.
