Darkness & Light Dance Choreography!

October 20th, 2009 | Posted by Improv in Toronto in Upcoming Missions - ()

Our instructional videos for the Darkness and Light Dance are now up! The choreography is shown in 5 separate parts, to make it easier for everyone to learn the steps.

The dance may seem difficult at first, but with a little practice we’re sure you’ll get the hang of it. And don’t worry about perfection, this about fun! Just give it your best attempt.

Plus we’ll be going over everything again with you at the rehearsal!

Check out the first video here:

How it works:
The Rehearsal will be held the day of the event, only a couple hours prior. Our choreographers will be going over the full routine with the group, and we will run through it a couple times.

We will then have an hour and half break, in which participants can get something to eat, hang out, and make their way to Dundas Square for 9:30pm.

The main event will be done while CTV is doing their live feed for their newscast. Also, this will be filmed for an upcoming TV show we’ve been helping out on! So if you like lights, cameras and dancing, come out!

Afterwards:
The dancing and fun times will continue after the actual dance ends. Everyone is invited for a large after-party once the event ends, in Dundas Square. Beverages and snacks will be served, a DJ will be playing and some prizes will be given out! So stick around, and chill out with your new found friends!

Please join and invite all of your friends! You won’t want to miss this =)
