Dancing in musical theater is challenging. There's new choreography for every show, of course -- but dancers also need to be able to adapt to different styles of dance. Our Woodminster dancers work very hard for long hours during their 3-week rehearsal period. Brigadoon is one of the classic dance musicals, with choreography that won a Tony award for Agnes DeMille in 1947. To reproduce this balletic magic, our dancers have ballet classes before rehearsals to learn specific techniques and steps, and to warm up.

Below, choreographer Jody Jaron shows the female dancers a position (with Megan Jaron), and then does the same for the male dancers (with Joven Calloway*)
