Little Mermaid Dance Instruction Video for Auditions

Alright, folks - we have here some amazing dance choreography for you to learn!  I want to take a moment and introduce this year's choreographer.  Our choreographer will be Alisa Horrocks!  We had to switch things up this year because of scheduling, but I could not be more excited.  Alisa comes to us with over 19 years of experience as well as past choreography experience.  She has worked with youth your age and even use to help run drill AT Alta.  She's a great asset to our production team and I am SO grateful she has agreed to choreograph for us.  Also, the dance she created for Under the Sea is SO fun! 

There are three links below.  This first is just a video of the dance - this is what you should look like when we watch your video, or as close to it.  It's just a front facing video and that's what we want to see when you submit your video as we need to see facial expressions when you dance.

Under the Sea Front View Dance

This second link is a view of the dance from behind as if you were watching it from behind to help you dance along to once you have learned the dance.  

Under the Sea Back View Dance

The third link is the choreography breakdown.  This is the video that will describe what steps are a part of the dance and actually TEACH you the dance itself.  Watch this again and again as needed till you feel secure in the dance moves!

When you are finally ready to submit your video you will need to film your video in a way that we can see your whole body and face.  Be big with your movements and have confidence!  When you have your video ready you MUST upload it to YouTube as an UNLISTED video and email me the link.  Do this in PLENTY of time because any videos that are late will NOT be counted - no exceptions. I have WAY too many to watch to make exceptions.  My email is: linze.struiksma@canyonsdistrict.org - they are due by 5pm on Thursday, but I would PERFER them by 2pm if possible.  Please put your name and LITTLE MERMAID DANCE VIDEO in the subject line.  Thank you and happy dancing!
