| Step Together Step Touch -Teaching Musical Theatre Dance for Non-Dancers |
| Whether in a school or community theatre, physical and dance educators may be thrown into unexpected situations where they have to think quickly and choreograph for a group of students or adults - at different dance levels - in a musical. Learn how this experience can be rewarding for both performers and choreographer. This participatory session will introduce even teachers who do not know how to dance how to create easy musical theatre steps for all ages. The end result may just be the showstopper that the audience will yell, "Encore!" Both presenters have received rave reviews for their choreography. |
