The DDC Emerging Choreographers Program is a two-term specialty program for dancers who are ready to explore choreography, creativity and performance at a deeper level.
​
Across Term 2 and Term 3, dancers will work with their teachers to create, develop and refine their own solo, learning how choreographers shape movement, music and storytelling into meaningful dance.
​
This program is designed for dancers who want to take the next step beyond regular classes and explore choreography, creativity and performance in a focused studio environment.​​
What dancers will learn
​
Throughout the program, dancers will explore:
​
• Choreographic composition – how to structure a dance and develop movement ideas
• Musicality – responding thoughtfully to rhythm, phrasing and dynamics
• Storytelling through movement – creating dances with intention, meaning and emotional depth
• Performance quality – stage presence, projection and confidence
• Creative process – learning how choreographers develop, refine and polish a piece of work
Classes will include creative prompts, choreographic tasks and individual mentoring as dancers and teachers shape their solo piece over time.
