Rehearsal Videos

Hello students!

The show is quickly approaching, and with the threat of winter weather, I wanted to make sure you had the links to rehearse if we are not in school.  

Here is a folder of the music for the show.

I've attached playlists for each of the classes, which starts with student directed choreography and then teacher directed choreography.  There are some sections of my dances that are not filmed, but I will get those filmed once we return to school.  If there were any choreography notes, I have also posted those below!

Third Hour

Sixth Hour

Wicked Games Notes


Seventh Hour

Sign up for Theatre Dance I & II

It's time to begin signing up for classes at Rogers and Heritage High Schools!  If you're looking for a fun and active class, you should take Theatre Dance!  In Theatre Dance, we learn different styles of movement, develop skills, increase flexibility, and choreograph dances.  So far this year, we've studied ballet, lyrical, musical theatre, and modern.  During the spring, we'll spend some more time learning about different cultures' dances like bachata, nortenas, salsa, African, etc.  

If you've already taken Theatre Dance I, let me sign your enrollment sheet for Theatre Dance II!  Or if you have experience with the listed styles above, you can audition with me to go straight into Theatre Dance II.

Email edavis@rps.k12.ar.us with questions. 

Come see our production at RHS on Sunday, March 16 at 2:00pm!
