Well, I'm off to the Little Apple tomorrow to attend my friends Anna and Katie's senior show "Magnetic". I'm very excited to be going, especially because they had me reset a piece that I originally did for my senior show. The great thing about being able to reset your own choreography is that you can change things. I was able to use what I had learned from my senior show and alter things to make the dance even better. One thing about dance and choreography is that choreographers tend to see things in their mind and once they get on stage it doesn't turn out exactly how they pictured it. Most of the time when this happens it's because the choreography was a little too much to handle. There were a few spots in my dance that were like that, so I was able to simplify them or change them all together so that the dancers can actually get the steps down. Sometimes I think we forget that more difficulty is not always better. You always have to keep in mind that the more difficult the steps are, the harder it is going to be for the dancers to pick it up and to get it together. I taught this new group of dancers a month ago, and I'm excited to see how the rehearsals have paid off since I set the piece on them! If anyone is going to be in Manhattan tomorrow, the show is at 5:00 pm at Nichols Theatre...Hope to see lots of people there!
