The "Choreographer's Carnival" is a choreographer's showcase. Jan 2017 marked the 18th Anniversary of this staple in the dance community.
This Carnival piece features 23 women who have taken "THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD" intensives. These intensives share my approach to dance as an art form and as a business.
Around 200 students have taken these intensives so far in LA, NY, London, Amsterdam and Toronto.
The purpose of this piece was to allow some alumni to take the stage together and have the freedom to be themselves on stage. I wanted to showcase what I got to witness when they attended my intensives- the ability to be completely unique, authentic and free while still being sexy, powerful and womanly.
The women you see performing are alumni from around the world, including LA, St Louis, Toronto, Amsterdam, and New York, and some of them had never performed in Los Angeles before, let alone at Carnival.
I can not be more proud of how well they did, and the experience was nothing but pleasant from the first rehearsal until we got off stage.
Thank you to everyone in the audience who cheered for us- we felt the love and it made for such a special experience for these women.
Thank you to Carnival for continuing to have this necessary platform!
