  1. Prospective Choreographer Information Meeting Fall 2013

  2. Auditions • EVERY prospective choreographer auditions • Audition in front of the President and Vice President • Show us 30 seconds of your choreography • Teach President 8 counts of your choreography • Auditions are usually less competitive in the fall, please audition!

  3. The audition process • We take into consideration choreographer surveys if you have choreographed in the past • Strike system • We try to choose the dances that will create the most diverse show • Different styles and levels

  4. Music • Music must be appropriate!! • 3 minutes max • Cannot use a song that has been used within the last 3 years (if a senior can remember it) • If you’re not sure if a song has been used in the past, get in touch with Sam Cillo • No more than 2 songs by the same artist • Song thread over the summer • Just because you write that you want a song doesn’t mean it’s yours • If 2 people audition with the same song, we will choose one or ask you to change your song

  5. Costumes • Think creative, colorful • We always get a lot of black and a lot of t-shirts • Can ask for no more than $10 from dancers • Can use costumes in storage • Costumes must be appropriate • All costumes must be approved by Deanna Clark • Do not tell your dancers their costumes until they’re approved • Nothing is set until they are approved

  6. Choreography • Must be YOURS! • No tolerance for plagiarism • If we find out you took choreography from somewhere else, you will not be choreographing for the club ever again • Must be appropriate • Make sure it’s appropriate for the level you want your dance to be • You have 9 weeks to teach and clean, so manage your time well • You should have formation changes

  7. Practices • One scheduled class hour per week • Club rule: cannot miss more than 2 practices • Please enforce this! • Can hold extra help for dancers who want it, but it’s not mandatory • Our speakers cannot be used for extra practices

  8. Strike system • We ask you for a lot of different things over the semester • You need to hand all of these things in on time, or you will receive a strike • 3 strikes and you will not be allowed to choreograph again the next semester • Notified of strikes via email from me

  9. Strikes • Failure to respond to all emails from dancers after sign-ups • Failure to hand in music on time • Failure to hand in costume template on time • Not going to the choreographer meeting • Failure to send roster to the club account on time • Numerous complaints from your dancers

  10. Choreographer expectations • Relay information from e-board to general members • Treat dancers with respect, be prepared for classes • Get involved with community service events!
