Young Choreographer's Night is a chance every other year for our dancers to showcase their own choreography. Students create every part of the dance and work together to choreograph their piece. Dancers in all levels and styles (mostly recommended for 3rd grade and up) are welcome to choreograph dances for the event and must follow the guidelines below. All dances must be registered by March 8th. Dancers will have a dress rehearsal at New Hope Church starting at 4pm. All dancers must be in attendance for the dress rehearsal. More details will be provided upon registration.
Guidelines:
- Dances must be 0:45-2:00 minutes in length
- Dancers are allowed to be in up to 3 pieces at most
- Dances can be solos or include multiple dancers. All dancers must be students at VDS.
- Dancers can borrow costumes from VDS, with approval from Traci Broman
- Dancers must fill out Choreography form (right) and turn in music to Miss Marissa by Saturday, March 12th
- If you need help with editing or purchasing music please contact Marissa by March 12th
- Dancers will be required to have 1 teacher meeting prior to the performance. Dates & times will be coordinated with staff.
- Dances will be split & judged based on age groups
- Judges will look for choreography, cohesion, synchronicity, flow, and performance value.
- 1 dance from each age group will be chosen that night, but all others will be chosen based on showcase order, needs between other dances, and styles needing to showcase in the following weeks.
