chanda's modern dance class is performing a group piece called extra genre, also known as "tape dance" by all the students as it begins with each dancer rolling out a line of colored artist's tape across the stage. the dance needed two extra dancers, so morgana and her friend amelia are filling in. morgana is on the left in this pic, and chanda on the right (amelia is the one in yellow). they found it funny that they both turned out to be pink in the line-up. i was pleased as i only needed one color and one dye pot to dye the leotards.
deychen and i were amused as chanda was the slowest at rolling out her tape, though she did really well at keeping it straight and strong. none of the dancers' tape strands broke, which has happened in past tech rehearsals!
the music is by stravinsky and steve drews, and i find it very exciting. it actually reminds me of the disneyland electric parade music from when i was little and would visit my aunt in los angeles in 1969.
ellen has certain sections that she has choreographed, and others that she leaves for the students to do.
first comes chanda's section that she choreographed with the other girls dancing, and then morgana's section that she worked on with allegra, whom she's dancing with.
