Student Choreography Starts Monday!

3/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Please note the following:

  • No student choreographer will be allowed to start rehearsals until they have turned in a signed Choreographers' Contract. 
 
  • No student choreographer will be allowed to start rehearsals until they have sent Mrs. Mansilla their cast list via Jupiter. 
 
  • All student choreographers need to check their email/Jupitergrades accounts several times a week (or everyday) to ensure they are getting all the most up to date information.  Several emails have been sent already with important information. 

  • Note that student choreographers who signed up for rehearsals in Ax14 will now be in Ax27. This is the old computer lab that has become an open multipurpose space. The room is exactly the same as 14, just one floor up.

  • All students participating in student choreography (choreographers and dancers) should make arrangements to have their rides pick them up as soon after their rehearsal has ended as possible. The dance faculty thanks you for your consideration in this matter. 

Happy Choreographing!

Performance Opportunity!

3/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Dancers needed for the third round of student choreography. The performance will be on April 19th, 2018 at Spring Informance on the mainstage at YPAS.

This is a great performance opportunity because the rehearsal commitment is relatively minimal. Also, these dances are generally smaller casts so you will likely be more featured than in a typical faculty work. NHSDA hours are also available for participating. And because all dance majors are required to attend Spring Informance, you'll already be there. Rehearsals will be held during the two weeks prior and the two weeks following Spring Break. 

If you are interested in dancing for a student choreographer click HERE to post your availability now.  Only confirmed choreographers will be given access to this list and one of them may contact you if your availability meets their needs. Note that you may only agree to dance in up to 2 dances. 

Don't wait to sign up! Choreographers could be looking for dancers as soon as this Tuesday, Mar. 6
