Choreography Program Description

Choreography Program Description
This class is designed for students who want to learn the principles and processes behind dance composition. Throughout the year we will focus on different choreographic tools, themes, and movement styles.  We will work both individually and collaboratively to create dance pieces. Students will have the opportunity to develop dances and perform them for an audience. In addition to creating choreography, students will experiment in improvision and partnering.  This class is ideal for any student wishing to explore artistic expression through dance.  Intermediate and advanced dancers only.  Students must be at least 10 years old and take a minimum of two level 3+ classes in addition to a choreography class. |  Must be taking a minimum of two level 3+ classes a week in addition to choreography.
