Honors Choreography & Performance

Choreography and Performance is an honors level course for those who have previous dance experience. This course gives students opportunities to perform pieces throughout the school year at chapels and basketball games as well as outside of school opportunities and an end of the year concert. Students are challenged by quick paced choreography with a multitude of dances in various styles and the opportunity to learn how choreograph their own dance pieces for either themselves or for other students. This course is audition based but can be repeated for multiple years.

Insider Information

This course covers the following concepts: choreographing for large groups, choreographing for small groups, inventing new/ creative movement and improvisation.

This class is performance based. Technique is NOT taught during class. Because of that, students are required to attend a dance technique class at a dance studio outside of NRCA. The end-ofthe-year performance is mandatory.

There is a choreography fee of $60 per semester for guest choreographers to come set pieces on the students. T-shirts are done every year for this class and are an additional expense (normally $15-20)
