NEEDED WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER...** Dear Artists, We are so happy you found us here and are getting a glimpse into BAC and who we are. We are Alexis and Chryssie, best friends, performing artists, passionate educators and the co-founders of Broadway Arts Community since 2017. We have both had lengthy careers that have spanned Broadway, film & TV. But, the best part of us is not our resume, it’s our friendship. We met on the 1st National Tour of Fosse in 2001 and we’ve been soul sisters ever since. If you read to the end of this note, welcome! We're excited to meet you! Love, Alexis and Chryssie ## WHAT WE OFFER ![ACSILLY-860x1290](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/ACSILLY-860x1290.jpg?width=860&height=1290&name=ACSILLY-860x1290.jpg) ### WE COACH ![29987872_16604126122Jugroup_headshots](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/29987872_16604126122Jugroup_headshots.jpg?width=600&height=400&name=29987872_16604126122Jugroup_headshots.jpg) ### WE TRAVEL ![BAC_favicon](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/BAC_favicon.png?width=270&height=270&name=BAC_favicon.png) ### SUMMER TAMPA ## TESTIMONIALS ![Megan Corbin](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/Megan-Corbin-150x150.jpg) ### Megan Corbin ###### AMDA Graduate and BAC Broadway Arts Community was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a professional artist! Before going, I thought that I was only a dancer. After the camp, I’m now a lot more confident in singing and acting! Singing in front of others has always been a fear of mine, but thanks to Alexis, Chryssie, Michael and all of the other guest teachers that worked with us, that fear is long gone and this is only the beginning! Thank you all so much!!! ![Chloe Lafleur](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/Chloe-580x580.jpg) ### Chloe Lafleur ###### Loyola Marymount Graduation, and BAC I could not speak more highly about Broadway Arts Community! Chryssie and Alexis have developed a smart, challenging and FUN environment for individuals to grow and hone in on their craft! Their passion and professional experience is absolutely palpable when you are in the room with them. This workshop will push you to grow in all areas of movement, vocals and acting techniques. ANY level can benefit from this environment. Broadway Arts Community is worth every second of your consideration and time. Don’t miss a unique opportunity to train with industry professionals and GOOD HUMANS!!!! ![AJ Urban](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/AJ-URBAN-580x580.jpg) ### AJ Urban ###### High school sophomore, BAC The experience that I have had is so amazing. The blood, sweat, and tears that went into this intensive shows how much we bonded. I have never been in a group of like-minded people like this. ![Ty Koeller](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Images/Ty-Koeller-Small-580x580.jpg) ### Ty Koeller ###### Current Musical Theatre student UCLA This camp was an absolutely amazing experience! Chryssie, Alexis and all the guest teachers offer so much insight that helps you grow in singing, dancing, and acting. Getting to work with these incredible teachers every day for a week equipped me with helpful audition tips and experiences that I will take with me forever. I personally loved the workshop feel of each session and the support that I felt from the rest of the students. If you are considering it, I highly recommend investing in this camp! ## BAC IS… ![Training](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Training.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Training.jpg) #### TRAINING A slice of conservatory training gearing up for college ![Nurturing](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Nurturing.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Nurturing.jpg) #### NURTURING Nurturing teachers ![Diverse](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Diverse.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Diverse.jpg) #### DIVERSE For all backgrounds & abilities ![Connection](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Connection.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Connection.jpg) #### CONNECTIOn Connection to ourselves & others ![Excellence](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Excellence.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Excellence.jpg) #### EXCELLENCE Excellence in dance, acting & vocal training with Broadway pro’s ![Freedom](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Freedom.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Freedom.jpg) #### FREEDOM Freedom to express yourself ![Re-energizing](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Re-energizing.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Re-energizing.jpg) #### RE-ENERGIZING A re-energizer for the pro ![Self-Reflecting](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Self-Reflecting.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=Self-Reflecting.jpg) #### SELF-REFLECTING Provides time for journaling & self reflection ![A Healthy Mindset](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/A%20Healthy%20Mindset.jpg?width=401&height=231&name=A%20Healthy%20Mindset.jpg) #### MINDFUL An opening to a healthier mindset ## PAST BROADWAY FACULTY ![Llyod Culbreath](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Llyod%20Culbreath.jpg?width=320&height=400&name=Llyod%20Culbreath.jpg) ![Soshana Bean](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Soshana%20Bean.jpg?width=321&height=402&name=Soshana%20Bean.jpg) ![Dylis Croman](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Dylis%20Croman.jpg?width=319&height=400&name=Dylis%20Croman.jpg) ![Michael James Scott](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Michael%20James%20Scott.jpg?width=321&height=402&name=Michael%20James%20Scott.jpg) ![Bianca-Marroquin](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Bianca-Marroquin.jpg?width=320&height=400&name=Bianca-Marroquin.jpg) ![Jenn Gambatese](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BroadwayArtsCommunity_February2021/Homepage%202023/Jenn%20Gambatese.jpg?width=321&height=402&name=Jenn%20Gambatese.jpg) ![BTB Basic](https://www.broadwayartscommunity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BTB%20Basic.png?width=2000&height=2000&name=BTB%20Basic.png "BTB Basic") BAC is expanding further in outreach with our newly formed non-profit, [Broader Than Broadway.](http://www.Broaderthanbroadway.org)We have worked internationally with Youth Theatre Kenya and Dance Center Kenya to provide Broadway training to those who have not had access.
