Santa Fe

Today we wanted to try and get a start on several different numbers in today's lesson. We set our welds the target of look at at these numbers from the show in these groups:
I'll cover you= Toby and Dan M
Voicemail 2= Meg and Dan S
One song glory= Tom
Christmas bells= me, Carl and Dom
Our objective of running our rehearsal like this was too see if we could start several number in a rehearsal and then have us finish them ourselves outside of lessons, so with each number our goal wasn't to finish them today but to have at least several ideas on what we wanted to happen with them. Everyone went off to do their independent worker on the songs while Me, Carl and Dom talked about ideas for Christmas bells. This version of Christmas bells start after the end of the song "rent" and used everyone except Mark, Roger and Angle. So looking at where everyone ended in Rent we looked at what we could do with the member we had who were spaced out the stage and audience. We decided to try having the people on stage cross in front of the table while singing so that Mark and Roger wouldn't be seen, during this Bennie and Collins come from the audience to join in and make a line with everyone at the front of the stage while singing before walking off.
After working independently for a while we came together to work on the number Santa Fe.
We all decided that Meg should choreograph us a part of this dance that starts from the second "Let's open up a restaurant". For our dance we're in 2 groups of 3, Meg, Dom, Carl on stage right and me, Tom, Dan S on stage left. Meg's side starts the dance first. They walk on with a 2 step turn step then on the next line of the song we walk on doing the same as them. We then walk around the room to our new position for the dance that we wanted to try and make flow with the movement.
We start but side stepping right and reach our arms round in a circle then move them in a figure of eight while we push our left leg out and back in. We then do a step change into and spin over our right shoulder while travelling to the left. We then turn back the way we just came doing a gallop spin which goes into gentle walking upstage right while sweeping our feet round.We then sweep our right foot all the way round before goin to walk into a semi circle to end the movement side of this number.
