Song to be Staged: “Dancing Through Life" from Wicked
Class Description: This progressive series will give you a glimpse into what it is like to stage a production number. You will have the opportunity to focus on practicing performance, stage presence, and storytelling while learning formations, blocking and longer choreography! The goal of this series is to give each dancer the opportunity to learn and perform a musical theater number from beginning to end, telling a whole story with movement, while still enabling you to build confidence and have fun.
Each class within the series will be 1 hour, and will still include a brief warm-up. Class will be taught at an Intermediate pace and level.
WEEKS 1 - 3: Each class will start with a brief warm-up before moving into learning choreography. We will discuss and explore movement patterns, formation changes, spacing, partnering (no lifting), performance textures and dynamics. At the end of the 3rd week, class will discuss costumes and how they influence characters and individuality in group numbers.
WEEK 4: The first half of class will be spent reviewing choreography, cleaning and answering questions. You will then have a brief break to change into any costume pieces, apply make-up, and freshen your hair if you choose. During the second half of class we will run through the full “performance!” Remember, these run-throughs do not have to be perfect as this is still "the rehearsal room!" The Class Manager on duty will film the final product!
Level Description: This is a Intermediate level series. Significant dance experience (ie, many years of training) is recommended for this level. If you have danced most of your life and want to continue challenging yourself while having fun, this class is for you. Dancers in this level have a deep understanding of the basic elements of the style and are competent at learning and retaining moderate to quick choreography taught at a moderate pace. Choreography will likely not repeat movements frequently. You will see a variety of different between instructors in this level. There will be modifications for movements if needed.
