Fort Worth Summer Choreography Project

Description

Open to Rising 8th-12th graders

We invite DFW dancers (rising grades 8-12 and incoming first year college students) to participate in the first annual Fort Worth Summer Choreography Project! Spend the week dancing and creating new choreography with your peers. Interested students can apply to be a student choreographer* and receive approximately 18 hours of rehearsal time to create a dance for participating students.. Each day choreographers and dancers will show what they’ve made to staff and fellow dancers and choreographers for feedback and workshopping. On the final day, guest adjudicators will view students’ final works or works in progress and provide feedback for choreographic and performance growth.
