Choreographer Information Meeting Fall 2012
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!
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 Alyssa Pallotti • 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
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 Dana Murano • Do not tell your dancers their costumes until they’re approved • Nothing is set until they are approved
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
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 Erin
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
