SHE’S bringing the Great White Way to the Bronx.
A borough native and former Broadway actress has parlayed her success in the theater into a performing arts school in the Bronx.
Lisa Maietta Rybacki, 28, opened Dream Makers Performing Arts at 3432-10 E. Tremont Ave. in Throgs Neck on Oct. 12. She already has 50 students and is planning to take dozens more.
“It’s my baby,” said the actress, who grew up in Country Club. “It’s been a dream of mine. When I was younger, I always had to go to the city for my training because there wasn’t any place that offered professional dance and acting lessons in the Bronx.
“Now that I’ve done Broadway shows, I wanted to bring it back to the community and share what I’ve learned.”
Dream Makers offers instruction in singing, dancing and acting. The school also has fitness classes for adults, including salsa, zumba and yoga. Classes are held Monday through Saturday from 3:30 to 10p.m.
Rybacki has worked as a professional actress for a decade.
She is currently the dance captain for the first national Broadway tour of “Grease,” starring former “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks.
She has formerly performed on the national tour of “West Side Story.” She also has done regional productions of “42nd Street,” “Oklahoma!,” “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Footloose” and “The Music Man,” among others.
Lessons are at $55 a month for four one-hour classes. Read more..
