BETHLEHEM, PA—- The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) will present its 2018 Young Choreographers in Concert, May 3-5, 2018 in the Charter Arts Theatre, located at 321 East 3rd Street in Bethlehem.
Evening performances on each night begin at 6 PM.
YCC is the culminating event, or final exam, for the Senior Dance Composition course. Each senior student creates original choreography that is cohesively based on a theme of their choosing. They then cast dancers from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes. This year’s show features thirty-three senior choreographers and close to 100 dancers. Some themes being explored by students this year include grief, celebrity/idolization, unification of humanity after a tragedy like a natural disaster, just to name a few…
Concert director and Charter Arts dance faculty member, Amy Berry says, “YCC is an invaluable opportunity for students to find their creative selves and to see an artistic process through from conception to the stage. A physical and visual expression of the students’ inner feeling and interests that is always an exciting and entertaining surprise to watch!”
Tickets are $13 for adult, $11 for student/senior and can be ordered online at www.CharterArts.org or call 610-868-2971
