Performance Projects
What is a project?
Projects brings participants together to work on a dance piece that will be presented in front of an audience. It’s an opportunity to build relationships with dancers you will learn and train with over the course of a few months. The projects can take various forms depending on the artistic vision of the coaches and the participants engagements.
It is a full session journey with the goal of performing the project at the end of the season. To ensure a great experience for all, we ask to respect the length of your commitment (Sept-Dec/Jan-March/April-June).

Choreography Project
AUDITIONS: Sept 30, 2024
Cassie is offering a new project designed specifically to guide you through the choreographic creation process in Lindy Hop & Jazz.
The goal will be to accompany you step by step and give you the tools and best practices to create a choreography of your own composition. You'll gain a clear method of creation, and you'll be accompanied step by step by your coach to improve your choreography, your interpretation and your quality as a performer.
You'll have the choice of composing as a couple (2 lindy hoppers), alone (solo) or in a group of 2-3 solo dancers.
To ensure a great experience for all, we ask for a commitment for the duration of the project. The cost of the session includes the end-of-year performance evening.
