It’s time to light up the night and close out the year with a rave-inspired fusion dance that will incorporate various types of LED light props in a theatrical piece that culminates in an epic finale set to Sandstorm. Yes, that Sandstorm.
Prior flow prop experience is helpful but not required. This project is intended for dedicated advanced beginner and intermediate dancers who are comfortable learning and refining prop-based movement.
***LED props needed will be discussed and decided during the course.
Attendance: Weekly video tutorials will be provided to support home practice, but they are not a substitute for class. To perform, plan to attend all sessions unless prior arrangements are made. Missing two or more classes may impact your participation in the show.
