Class Description:
In this class, students will learn how to create original movement phrases, craft full pieces, and teach their choreography to their peers. Together, we’ll explore how choreography isn’t just about making a dance “hard” or flashy—it’s about storytelling, musicality, and designing movement that fits the dancers you’re working with.
Students will develop key skills such as:
Assessing dancer levels and understanding the strengths and needs of a group
Building formations and staging that look cohesive and dynamic
Placing dancers strategically to highlight the overall vision of the piece
Collaborating and teaching choreography clearly and confidently
Adjusting and refining choreography in real time
A portion of each class will be dedicated to hands‑on creation. Students will bring in their own ideas, and we’ll work together to shape them into developed choreography that works for a full group. With support and guidance, dancers will gain experience in leadership, creative decision-making, and effective communication.
This is an ideal class for dancers who hope to choreograph for future performances with us. Our studio is committed to building leaders from within, and this class is a great opportunity for emerging choreographers to step into that path.
This session will focus on Musical Theatre–inspired movement, blending storytelling, character work, and expressive choreography.
Open to dancers ages 12 and up.
