JOIN US FOR THE INAUGURAL STUDENT CHOREOGRAPHER SERIES!

October 14th & 15th, 2022

​

Black Box Theater at Dance Fusion Performing Arts Studio

6330 Farm Bureau Road, Allentown, PA 18106

Student Choreographer Series (SCS) was created to allow for young artists to express themselves through their own movement. SCS harvests dancer’s creations and opens an environment of feedback, critique, and growth. 


Dancers will have the chance to show their self-choreographed works to a panel of professional choreographers for feedback. Dancers will be given time to rehearse and change their pieces according to the feedback from the panel. Dancers will have the opportunity to learn about choreographic composition, improvisation, and master classes with these prestigious artists.
