Choreography Creation & Mentorship with Kathy Lang
At SEDA, we strive to provide creative outlets and to showcase our dancers’ works and works-in-progress. This year we will be offering choreographic mentorship courses at various times to provide additional creative experiences. Works will be short and sweet, diverse, and allow the dancer to dig into a special creation project outside of the usual process in technique classes.
