There are great dancers and great singers and great actors. Sometimes there are the triple threats that are awe inspiring. But all of them, regardless of natural talent, had to be taught the basics sometime.

or a specific role. Amongst the skill topics available are:
Spatial Recognition
Verbal Phrasing (Song and spoken word)
Character Development
