The ultimate commercial dance training opportunity for dancers ages 19-30, held July 5th - July 12th 2022 in Los Angeles, California. Industry Apprentices will act as the assistant choreographer to Focus: Season 4 director and choreographer Lauren Froderman . They will also assist with all the behind the scenes Hollywood magic of filming a music video and documentary in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, Industry Apprentices will demonstrate choreography in class with our celebrity and industry educators and network in the commercial dance capital of the world.
PROGRAM PURPOSE AND SCHEDULE
Due to availability, the Industry Apprenticeship Program is only open to 9 dancers, ages 19-30 by invitation or audition only.
- Be the assistant choreographer and crew leaders for choreographer and director Lauren Froderman.
- Demonstrate and assist faculty and industry professionals.
- Assist Liberate staff in crew duties for on camera and off camera assignments.
Training will feature all commercial dance styles from hip hop to contemporary, commercial heels, street styles, conditioning, audition techniques, and more! To give the full Los Angeles experience all classes are open level.
MUSIC VIDEO & DOCUMENTARY FILMING
After Apprentice auditions, Industry Apprentices will be cast as Crew Leaders. As a Crew Leader your main responsibility is cleaning choreography for the music video shoot.
Your job is to ensure that the dancers look fantastic in time for filming.
Industry Apprentices will perform in the final "group number" portion of the music video. Additionally, they will be featured in our documentary.
For the music video shoot, the recording artist will be announced in the spring when we announce our faculty. Season 1's recording artist was Presley Tennant who went on to be part of Team Kelly Clarkson on NBC's The Voice! Season 2's recording artist was singer/songwriter David Lee, from Eastvale, California. And last year we had Ari Davis, a featured dancer on Lizzo’s "Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" and currently on “The Special Tour”.
