Rehearsal Process
Students rehearse their Small Group’s choreography along with original choreography taught by the Teaching Artist to create a structured movement piece. This process helps students retain the sequence and flow of choreography, understand what it takes to be a performing artist, and support their success when sharing their work in front of an invited audience.
