Woodshed 2022 Electives
Descriptions
Students will be able to take 2 electives. Everyone will submit a request for electives, listing in order their preferences (2 back up options will be selected also). Due to scheduling, some courses are not able to be taken with others. For instance, you can only select one of the film options.
A Study in Jazz - Dive into the different styles of jazz along with a look into current artists making waves today.
Film: Behind the Camera - Learn the process of creating a story board, setting up the shots, and directing dancers. This “Behind the Camera” course will help develop your eye as a dance on film maker.
Film: Dancer On the Set - Learn the ins and outs of being a dancer on a film shoot. Within this process, you will work with the Behind the Camera class as one of the dancers in their film short.
Heels Class - Tap dancing in heels is an ART! Learn some heel rep and spend some time in the shoes!
History/Footage - Take a look at historical figures of the dance and dive deep into the study of the masters. Students will observe and research footage, work to learn some of the rep, and compare some of the masters of yesterday to our current day tap professionals.
Pathways - Every journey is unique and no two paths will look the same. This series is designed to help you discover what is available and the multitude of options that exist for emerging artists. Topics will include college options, going professional, careers on and off stage, financial situations, and more!
