Dance: advanced choreography & artistic vision

Aligned to NCAS:Cr — National Core Arts Standards.

What this lesson teaches

Advanced choreographers create sustained, original works guided by a clear artistic vision, structuring complex pieces and refining them through rehearsal and critique. Developing original work at this level demonstrates independent artistry for college programs and companies and builds high-level creative leadership.

Worked example

You choreograph a five-minute piece for three dancers around the theme of resilience, build it in sections, then revise the weakest transition after watching a rehearsal video.

Practice questions

  1. Outline an original piece built around a clear theme.
  2. How do you structure a longer dance into sections?
  3. Revise one section after watching a rehearsal recording.
