Welcome to Stage the Number 

Stage the Number is a rehearsal-style class where participants learn 1-2 minutes of choreography and staging, simulating the experience and mirroring the demands of a professional production. The class emphasizes process over perfection, culminating in a filmed run-through that mirrors the rehearsal footage often released by Broadway and regional productions. Based in NYC, Stage the Number primarily holds classes at 890 Broadway in Manhattan. Stay up to date by joining our email list

What to Expect 

• Dive Right In: Unlike a traditional dance class, we jump straight into learning choreography—after a quick warm-up (if any).
• Broadway Inspired: We build numbers from Broadway shows of past, present, and future. Style will vary based on the show and choreographer.
• New Choreography: The material learned is the choreographer’s work—not original Broadway choreography unless explicitly stated in the class description.
• Cohesive Staging: Throughout class, you may learn different sections that come together to form a complete number.
• Choose Your Pace: You control how much you take on. If you feel you’ve hit your limit, you can opt out of additional sections—no pressure!
