DANCE FOR ACTORS
It’s great choreographing dance for tv and film. However the reality is that most of the work is simpler movement or short scenes with a hint of dance. Harbour Dance gave me the opportunity to teach beginner adults during the beginning of my career. It also became evident that I had a special talent for teaching actors who have zero experience in dance.
Out of this I quickly identified that celebrities' self-esteem is at an all time low when putting themselves in a dance scene. With this in mind, I used patience and an overall easy to follow direction to determine what is possible and what gives them confidence to perform.
WHAT STYLES OF CHOREOGRAPHY CAN I DO, YOU ASK?
You’d laugh at my resumé if I described the types of “moves” I have choreographed for movie/TV scenes. I’m trained in jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop and musical theatre. To give you a sampling to what I am referring, here is a list of those genres that have made me chuckle:
Country Line Dancing
Greek Dancing
Colour Guarding
The New Zealand Haka
Waltz/Foxtrot/Tango
Dirty Dancing gone wrong (my personal fav)
Maypole Dancing
Cheerleading
Martial Arts Jazz
Hand Models
Motown
Regency
Russian Folk Dance
Zombie Movement
TikTok Dances
*can’t wait to see what I do next…
