jazz necessary for stage and video. We will explore elements
like staging, choreography execution, working with artists,
levels, style, working with other dancers and performers
to create a vision onstage or for video. We wil also explore
the differences in performance between those two elements
as well as the execution levels necessary to be a strong
dancer/performer in those venues. Be prepared to push your
limits of personality, darama, and presentation as well as
