How Did You Hear About Her Turn?

Choreographer Responsibilities: Selected choreographers are responsible for securing their own dancers, rehearsal space, costumes, and music rights. LWBC provides the performance venue, technical support, and marketing — but the creative logistics of your piece are yours to manage. Please ensure you have the resources and availability to bring your work to the stage before applying.

I confirm all information submitted is accurate. If selected, I will sign LWBC's Choreographer Agreement, ensure all dancers complete a Performer Participation Agreement, meet all check-in deadlines, be available for both performance dates (August 15 & 16, 2026), and understand that securing my own dancers, rehearsal space, costumes, and music licensing is my sole responsibility.
