Guys and Dolls Rehearsal Video!

Our rehearsal process has kicked off strong this season. The leads are learning their lines and songs, big groups are learning choreography and blocking, and student leaders are keeping everybody on point.

We're ESPECIALLY excited to be bringing the Havana scene home to its classic AfroCuban roots, integrating traditional AfroCuban, Mambo, Salsa and Casino de Rueda movements into our interpretation.

Here is some rehearsal footage to check out... fun for fans to catch a glimpse behind the scenes, and GREAT for dancers to use for at-home practice.
