LAINI Musical - Dancing

Workshop Description

Thank you for choosing an activity that your child is interested in! This is where you register for DANCING and CHOREOGRAPHY. Your daughter will be in a group with a maximum of 12 participants, from grades 1 to 8. They will be led by professional artist Miranda Meijer, along with our workshop facilitator and coordinator, Carolina Rojas. Together, they will spend the sessions learning dance skills, creating their own choreography, rehearsing, and performing it. Their dances will be directly connected to the other three groups of the Laini Musical programme, which focus on Writing, Singing, and Costume Making.
