Dance Rehearsals
After meeting the rest of the cast and going over the script, the show has many moving pieces to put together before its debut. In this image, the ensemble dancers for By Jupiter learn their choreography from Robert Alton, studying his direction intently to ensure every movement the do on stage is precise and adds to the visual aspect of the show. They will rehearse the moves hundreds (if not thousands) of times over the course of a month or two to ensure it is perfectly done.
The dancers need to practice everything to the last detail; how high to kick, how fast to spin, how high to leap. While they make it look easy when they are onstage, performing the show with the costumes, music, and lights all in place, it takes an incredible amount of athleticism and endurance to perform a musical dance sequence.
