Have you wondered how your instructors think of the choreography that they teach you in class? Have you ever thought of how they come up with some of your favorite steps and dramatic formation changes? It’s time to pull back the curtain on some of your teachers’ best kept secrets. This class will break down the process of choreography.    Each week, students will learn new combinations, focus on different elements of choreographing, and work together in making their own creations over the course of the month. Students will also get to hear from guest speakers (their other Moksha Arts teachers) about the process behind some of the pieces they have learned in the past. In the final class, students will have the opportunity to perform and present their creations to parents and the class.  Zoom link will be sent to all registered students.  Instructor: Punchali Kumar
