The first of several movement workshops was held today at the Jackson Dance Lab with Professor Alice Trexler. A team of dancers is learning steps to coordinate with the samba bands they will be marching with next Sunday, October 12 at the HONK! parade. A series of steps coordinated with different whistle codes were rehearsed for walking and standing positions in the parade. The steps are designed to give energy to the crowd, movement to the music, and to have a blast during the parade. If you’re interested in learning the steps and marching with HONK! there will be another movement workshop tomorrow, Sunday, October 5 at 1:00 at the Jackson Dance Lab and a final rehearsal Thursday, October 9 at 6pm in the Cohen Auditorium.
