HARBOR DANCE PERFORMING GROUP 2011-2012
Performing Group provides dancers increased performance opportunities and instruction. PG is generally open to students, ages 7 -18 and requires audition or initiation.
PG performs at various local venues and participates in 1-3 (depending on parent decision) quality dance conventions which hold competitions, and 1-2 competitions. At the conventions, dancers learn technique by taking intensive class workshops from master instructors from Los Angeles and New York. At competitions, dancers are judged by qualified adjudicators on their abilities.
Dancers perform and compete in the genres of their interest; jazz/lyrical, contemporary, musical theatre, tap and hip-hop (select groups—Jr. hip-hop has already been selected). Participation in tap and hip-hop is not required. Dancers must demonstrate maturity and leadership capabilities within their classes and represent Harbor Dance positively when performing with the team. Our 2011/2012 Performing Group is directed by Simone Peterson and Giselle Lorenz and is supported by a dedicated team of parent volunteers and includes choreographers: Giselle Lorenz, Simone Peterson, Paula Johnson, and Dawn DelCastillo.
A Choreography and technique intensive clinic will be conducted August 22-25, and the cost will be around $120 for the week.
