5 pm – Introduction to Dance and Choreography
This workshop was specifically designed for those new or interested in being a choreographer, and those who want to build upon their foundation in dance. The workshop will be presented in a comfortable discussion type format – interaction is encouraged!
During this workshop we’ll be introducing what we believe are the key aspects of dance and offer recommendations for building a strong foundation. Components of dance, what is choreography, starting tools, considerations, and bringing your vision to life will also be discussed.
One of the most difficult things about dance is getting started and enjoying the adventure! It is much too easy to let doubt or fear creep in. With a focus on foundation and following your passion to create, we’ll discuss suggestions for making the most of this creative opportunity.

9 am – Spot On Smooth Dancer – Putting Your HUD to Work
Geared for anyone new to the Smooth Dancer Animation HUD or still familiarizing themselves. We will be focused on loading the HUD, playing animations, inviting others to dance and how to remove dancers (including yourself). We will also cover what to do when your dancers aren’t dancing. This is the first step before moving on to recording your own sequences.
(1 hour, Dance Studio)

Requirements to participate: Own the Smooth Dancer HUD and have basic object edit skills to participate
10 am – Choreography: Transitions, Animations, and Freestyling
Geared toward the dancer at any level, it’s all about the animations in this workshop! It all starts with considerations when buying animations before we focus on transitions – smoothing the changes between animations. We’ll also pull in using pose and ao animations in your dance before we focus on what freestyling is and how it can strengthen your choreography. To wrap it up, we cut loose and freestyle together!
(1 hour, Dance Studio)
