Choreography
Classes
These classes are for dancers age 7-10 who want:
extra stage time
specialized choreography
& a supportive team environment
WAPA students can participate in an extra Competition Choreography class per week and this class focuses on competition choreography. The group choreography will be entered into three competitions each spring. The competitions will all take place on the island (probably two in Victoria and one in Nanaimo). Competitions are chosen in June and announced for the following season.
At competition, groups will be given feedback either in person or by video recording and given a placement based on their mark. Competitions are high energy environments where dancers can meet others, watch lots of dance and enjoy the thrill of dancing on stage.
