About I Can Do That NYC: Five Years ago Jeffrey Schecter founded ICDT NYC with his wife, actress Melissa Swender (Phantom of the Opera, Wonderful Town, West Side Story) as a way to introduce their then three year old daughter to dance and theatre.
"This year we are celebrating 5 years. The name comes from the song, "I Can Do That" which I sang for over 500 performances while playing Mike in the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line." In response to Covid-19 and NY "Safer at Home" policies, Jeff and Melissa are moving as many of their classes online as possible with great success. They continue to offer high-quality programming while inspiring NYC children to say, "I Can Do That"! For more information, please visit www.ICanDoThatNYC.com
