Dance Rehersal

"In The Heights” contains fast pace music and dance numbers to accompany
the intense scenes. Recently we have just started choreographing for the song “96,000”; a number in which most of the cast is on stage dancing to a rapid tempo with a very significant
message in the play. Nicole, our choreographer came in last week to teach us
choreography to this song is much faster than the songs we had been working on so far, so the cast was very focused and determined to execute the moves correctly.
As always,we started with our active warmup to prepare our muscles for the dancing. Nicole starts by showing us a brief combination then breaking down each step.Once every could
nail that, she will continue to add on.As one can imagine, as we start to connect more and more
combinations in a proper order, it becomes more difficult. However, this cast was productive and maintained a positive mind set to continue trying. By the end of the rehearsal we were able to execute the dance thanks to everyones encouragement and Nicole’s incredible patience and
skill. This week we will continue to learn the rest of the choreography for this song along with continuing to practice the moves to other dances.
