Seeking information about Dance and Vocal lessons in NY

Hi, this is the first time I post a message on BroadwayWorld.com. I've been reading the board for quite some time and noticed that people here were really helpful. Please give me a hand here!

I am living in Hong Kong and am going to NYC for a week (14/8 to 22/Seeking information about Dance and Vocal lessons in NY for the first time in my life, just to watch some shows and take some classes. For that, I am planning to go to Broadway Dance Center (for both dance and singing classes) and the Ailey Extension (mostly for some Horton class).

The problem is I don't know whose class and of which level I should take. I have been having dance classes and singing lessons for 4 years here in Hong Kong. For dance, I am mostly trained in jazz (theatre, lyrical and jazz funk), but I have also had ballet, tap, acrobatics (well, just a little), modern and Horton lessons.

I am hoping to take lessons of jazz (all kinds), theatre, tap, modern, Horton, vocal and perhaps some ballet, but I'll be happy to learn about other interesting lessons.

Please give me some suggestions. Thanks a bunch~!

I would say try out a beginner class at first just to test the waters. Vocal Performance with Corrado is also a good class. Try a tap class with Germaine Salsberg or Avi Miller and Ofer Ben.

Hope you have a great time!

take SUE SAMUELS Basic or Beg Jazz class. She is AMAZING... she also teaches in Japan and China a lot. She seriously is the best. Ballet take Basic with Dorrit Koppel

Take Lainie Munro's theatre class. Seriously.
Corrado for voice
Germaine Salsberg (who I believe is coming back this week) for tap
Joy Karley or Dorit Koppel for ballet.
I'm really not sure about jazz. The teacher I used to have isn't there anymore, and I'm personally not a big fan of Sue Samuels.
