Project Description
With the support from the California Arts Council, Young Choreographers Project will provide two 8-week dance and choreography intensives to Southern California teens (ages 13-18 years old). Students will learn choreographic concepts, create original dance works, and attend a career panel. Students will showcase their work at a showcase.
Organization Summary
Young choreographers project currently provides a 8-week programs during the school year and week-long choreography intensives every summer.
During our 8-week programs, we match young dancers (ages 13-18) with dance professionals who mentor and guide students through the process of creating an original dance piece. Over the 8 weeks, each student develops a concept, creates movement, leads their peers in rehearsals, and showcases their work at a final performance. Having the opportunity to become a choreographer enhances each student’s relationship with dance and strengthens their technical skills and body awareness.
Our Summer Choreography Intensives allow students to experiment and explore with movement. Students discover several ways to create movement and cover everything from improvisation to musicality and timing. The week ends with a studio showcase for friends and family.
