“ELEVATING CHOREOGRAPHY”

Galen’s newest session for 2025, based on popular demand.

“From Movement To Meaning”

The 2-Day “Elevating Choreography” intensive will teach you how to elevate choreography beyond just executing the movement to understanding how to truly perform it. Think of it like "graduating" from "How To Retain Choreography" to "How to Personalize/Embody/Breathe life into Choreography".

This is a missing link for many dancers and we’re excited to dedicate an entire intensive to this highly-requested topic.

DETAILS:

  • WHO IS THIS FOR?

    Do you relate to the following:

    · "I don't want to just remember the moves & regurgitate them, I want to make them my own & breathe life into choreography."

    · “I want to learn how to personalize choreography while still staying clean and not doing ‘too much’.”

    · “My performance quality doesn’t feel as authentic as I want it to.”

    · “I want to learn how to storytell within choreography.”

    · “I want to learn how to show my emotions in choreography.”

    · "When I watch myself perform, I'm not excited by what I see."

    · "I don't feel 100% creatively in control when I perform choreography."

    · “I have a hard time performing when the choreography is either not story-driven, is choreography I don’t like, or I don’t connect with the song.”

    If you are advanced, ask yourself, “Do I feel 100% creatively in control when I’m executing choreography?” If you hesitate in answering the question, you need this session!

  • WHAT IS THIS FOR?

    Learn how to:

    · Truly listen to music beyond recognizing beats & instruments.

    · Learn musicality as a tool for expression rather than simply tracking rhythm.

    · Manipulate time as a creative tool.

    · Infuse your point of view into choreography while maintaining faithful to the choreography.

    · Develop creative ownership over choreography.

    · Use your face as a creative tool.

    · Learn choreography efficiently & creatively by performing & retaining the steps at the same time instead of separating the process.

    · Feel comfortable expressing any style of choreography.

    · Feel comfortable learning choreography in any environment, whether it’s welcoming, intimidating, slow, fast, etc.

    · Find value in performing choreography at any age regardless of technical skill. Dance will live & breathe with you as you age.

    · Perform with authenticity- enhance who you are instead of hiding behind inauthentic performance.
