Lainie Munro is not just a Theatre dance teacher. When she teaches, she is one of those rare people who can make you feel JOY. Particularly in the dance world, which can be harsh and mean and full of put downs, this is extraordinary. Get to Ailey and take her class. You will be amazed before you’re halfway through.

Dear Lainie, Thank you so much for this combo; I 'll be practising it in my living room in the south of France!! I took a couple of classes with you years ago while visiting NYC, and I never forgot the great time I had then, dancing to City Lights (Liza, The Act)!! xoxo

[@LainieMunro]

Freddy!!! OMG I love the City Lights combo! It also had a hat! And lots of SHA!!! ha ha. I send you much love from NYC to southern France. The Cote d'Azur, particularly Villefranche, is my favorite place in the whole world. :) So happy you enjoyed the video!! :) xo

[@theaterkeller2702]

well I don't wanna lie, it is a challenge for me. But I love musicals and want to learn dancing (I am 16 years old, sadly not good at dancing). My room in Ireland (living there as a German exchange student) doesn't give me a lot of space but that should not prevent me from dancing. I am watching it in 0.75 speed and practice it so long till I get it. I am at the first section right now, still not good but better than in the beginning ^^

[@mohamedelramlawi6914]

What is the type of this dance?

[@LainieMunro]

It's called Theater Dance, Theater Jazz, or Broadway Jazz ;)
