Fieldtrips to Hubbard Street/ Citywide Showcase


Dance Ensemble had an opportunity to go to The Harris Theater to see Hubbard Street Dance Company perform. Some of the dancers thought the performance was different and was something that they had never seen before. This was the first time members of The Dance Ensemble had seen Hubbard Street and we are thankful that we were graced with the opportunity. Also we had a chance to see The Annual Citywide Showcase performance. Dance Ensemble went to show support to fellow After School Matters colleagues. We were very happy to see what the different programs had been doing at the different program locations within the city.

Wayne McGregor/Random Dance


After School Matters Dance Ensemble was priviledged with the opportunity to have a master class with Wayne McGregor Random Dance Company. They are a London based dance company and have dancers from all over the country. The master class was really fun and included choreography from our individual perspective. The dancers from The Random Dance Company helped us tap into different techniques to come up with new choreography. The techniques were really helpful and can be used in our own choreography. The information for the dance company can be found on the upper right side of the blog.
