Dance and choreography are an essential part of the American Musical. In this lesson, students will explore the role of dance in a musical and how shows use dance to further the story. They will also be introduced to the role of the choreographer and learn about iconic choreographers who altered the way dance was used in the musical and why their iconic choreography is still performed to this day.
As always, use your discretion and please watch the videos first to make sure you feel they are appropriate for your students!
