Little Shop of Horrors

Today I taught the dance 'little shop of horrors' I made this number quite dancey, hopefully this will be a challenge for those that haven't danced before but also not too easy for those who do already dance, I tried to choreograph it so the audience would have fun watching it as it opens the show and it needs some wow factor to it.

I taught the whole dance, I probably taught it a bit too fast for some people but I'd rather it all be set and then go back and clean it properly when I have more time, I also didn't want to make the rehearsal boring by not moving on and staying on the same section. I had to simplify the start of the dance break for the back two lines in the spacing as hardly any of them could do it and were not only struggling with speed but also the choreography itself as some of them have never danced before.

I still need to work with the three girls to set some choreography, there are a few sections where I have asked them to do a more basic version of what the ensemble is doing so they are still able to sing but other then that I need to give them something interesting to do otherwise it might ruin the high energy effect if they just step click the whole time.

These are my choreography notes for this number
