Pirates of the Caribbean Performance Project
Ahoy, dancers!
Embark on a 6-week theatrical dance adventure as we embrace our inner rebels in a high-spirited pirate-themed choreography! Set to Hans Zimmer’s “Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho” from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, this skirt and sword dance will have you swashbuckling and sashaying across the stage.
You’ll also be part of the storytelling in the preceding number, adding depth to the overall performance.
Dancers will need a 25-yard skirt for the skirt section and a balanced dance sword (any style of dance scimitar is welcome).
There may also be an opportunity for some dancers to showcase double sword work!
This course is recommended for students with a solid foundation of advanced beginner to intermediate technique and prior experience with sword or other balancing props.
This course will prepare students to perform at the July 19th Bellyqueen School Showcase.
