Broadway Dance is a neighborhood studio at 597 Main Street in East Haven, Connecticut, owned and operated by dance instructor and choreographer Gina Helland. The studio says it has been educating students in the art of dance for 32 years and works with dancers of all ages and abilities. Its stated approach is deliberately non-competitive: classes run in a nurturing, family-friendly environment where every enrolled student may take advantage of the full range of offerings rather than being streamed into a competition team. The curriculum covers ballet, contemporary, tap, jazz and musical theatre, hip hop and acrobatics, and the studio also emphasises non-dance outcomes such as self-confidence, poise, self-control, teamwork and problem solving. Students perform in an annual dance showcase, and the studio runs a sister school, the New Haven Academy of Performing Arts, for voice, acting and music lessons.
