That "in your face" type of dancing or choreography has never really impressed me much. It is also the easiest thing to set.
Daily Stuff: SUDS rehearsal day. Accomplished what I had hoped. Staged two scenes and a number. One of the had already been half staged, so quick work was made of it. Then ran everything and staged the cast for a theatre benefit they are doing tonight. Just one number from the show, but it will be around a single microphone, so there is a little position jockeying that I set.
At least the rehearsals were early in the day. No traffic. :)

Thank you so much.
