Staging for the Non-Dancer
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

Staging for a cappella concerts can be a lot of fun, but what happens when you’ve put all your time into your ICCA/ICHSA set and have a 2-hour fall concert to perform? This introductory class is for performance directors who want to do more than stand-and-deliver, but also not run around the stage with direction!
