ABOUT CLOSE UP
Close Up is an on-camera workshop for dancers where we create a short dance film or an official music video for a hot new artist with an award-winning creative team.
Zoom in and take a look at the direction technology is taking the world of dance. There are more opportunities for dance on-camera now than ever before. From film & TV, to music videos & commercial work, dancers are working in front of the camera more than ever in the history of dance. CLOSE UP EXPERIENCE is pushing the envelope of dance education to new heights. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to shift your performance from stage to screen, as well as learn the language to communicate with a director & cinematographer on set. You’ll also learn how to manage your energy for a twelve hour shoot day, and learn how to deliver a great performance take, after take, after take. The best part is that you’ll appear in a short dance film or an official music video for an emerging artist. Are you ready for your CLOSE UP?
Close Up Experience will be held at 3D Motion Dance Center located at 3840 E Semoran Blvd, Apopka, FL 32703 with an additional shoot location in the Greater Orlando Area
