GHM CREATIVE

New format for 2025 is not industry-focused & is 16 hours total.

Previously, GHM Creative focused on how to work as a commercial-dance choreographer in the industry.

The new GHM Creative will help you develop yourself as a creative, but the focus is not on the industry, it's on you flexing your creative muscles to create something you love.
