This is your opportunity to develop your own unique vision with the direction and assistance of master teacher and choreographer, Brenda Bufalino, and musician/accompanist/arranger, Vladimir Katz. Participants are invited, but not required, to bring in material that they have been working on for further development.
- How to work with a pianist, arrange a piece of music & perform with musicians
- Explore ideas for creating choreography
- How are tap dances put together? What tunes are good for tap?
- How can you make your ideas unique, not generic?
Students will also learn a brand new tap repertory work, and experience Ms. Bufalino's choreographic collaboration with a musician. Material learned and developed will be presented at the Sunday evening showcase.
