Project: Choreograph, rehearse, and perform an original piece with a high school dance student.

Status: Completed!

The Narrative:

March 8, 2013

Our local performing venue and dance program does its own local version of Dancing with the Stars. This year I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of it! I’ve been working with Vienna Goad on choreography for Jailhouse Rock. Tech rehearsal is tonight (Friday) and the curtain opens at the Reif Center tomorrow, March 9. Here’s hoping for the win! If not the trophy, then we will hopefully be at least entertaining for the audience.

We won! It was great watching the Reif dance company and dancers from the James Sewell Ballet perform. Then at the end of the evening the four of us guys and our partners danced our pieces in succession. It was a great experience and in its 5th or 6th year now, I hope the Reif continues to do Dancing with Our Stars.
