Ready for Rep!

March 2013 - by Victoria Kickham


Rehearsals for the JNDS Spring Repertory Concert start this month

The studio’s Spring Repertory Concert will be held May 24th and 25th with rehearsals starting the week of March 11th, so if you haven’t registered yet stop by the front desk to sign up for your favorite choreographer. As always, the show will be held at Boston University’s Tsai Performance Center.
The Rep show is a great performance opportunity and a terrific way to support the studio and its Boston Youth Moves (BYM) teen program. The teens perform in the show alongside professional dancers and serious hobbyists for an evening of jazz, modern, hip hop, contemporary and theatre dance—offering a little something for everyone. The format is the same as December’s Not! The Nutcracker! show: dancers commit to a 10-week class and rehearsal schedule plus three additional rehearsals—an in-studio run-through for lighting design and in-theatre blocking and dress rehearsals the week of the show.

The other great thing about Rep is getting a look at JNDS faculty choreography. Weekly class combinations offer just a glimpse at what these committed dance professionals do, so even if you’re not performing mark your calendar for May 24th and 25th and treat yourself to a night of great dance.

Here’s a look at who’s preparing pieces for this year’s spring show:
  • Hip-Hop 1-2 with Sean Bjerke—rehearsals are Monday nights at 7:30
