Our popular Choreography Program is back this season!

This exciting program is all about learning how to build a routine for both soloists as well as group choreography. In this course you will work with Rachel, the owner of Passion and Performance as she guides you through concepts/themes and story lines, levels, dynamics, music assessment, lighting and design, audience mannerisms and expectations, note taking, cleaning, stage use and useful techniques on how to build an engaging and thoughtful routine. 

The teaching methods of this class includes classroom lectures, and an additional, limited capacity, optional mentorship program.

Creation Process
Creation process will cover how to source inspiration, how to organize your creative ideas into an accessible portfolio, how to listen to music for dance and musical assessment, skills to help enhance artistic visualization for movement, and copyright and creative integrity. 

Choreography Applications
Choreography Applications will cover choreography for different dance skills and levels, choreography for large groups and solos, choreography with props, spacing and staging, technical design, and energy dynamic.

8-week Mentorship Program (max. 8 students) Students who participate in the additional mentorship program will build a routine over 8 weeks. The mentorship program will include three one-on-one mentorship sessions with Rachel over this time frame. Mentee's will have access to our dancer volunteer list for their piece. There will be an opportunity to present the choreography to an audience who will provide feedback and grading in a peer review. There will potentially be opportunities to take student work to a Passion and Performance main stage show after the peer review.

All genres of performance will be welcome. Whether you are a hip hop dancer, belly dancer, or burlesque performer. This class will give you the skills you need to become a better choreographer.

For this session there will be a maximum of eight students in the mentorship program and twenty students in the lectures.
