From the Supreme Leader, Stellar Levy ’15:
Terpsichore is a student choreographed dance show that happens every semester. Any student can choreograph a dance and present a short phrase/description at auditions. Anybody can audition for any dance and is guaranteed to be part of the show!DANCE IS 4 EVERYONE SO COME DO IT***Curveball: This semester, auditions are in the World Music Hall (one of the first buildings in the CFA)!***
“A sunflower is born and dies while Bjork sings lullabies.”—Eriq Robinson ’15
Terpsichore is a student-run and student-choreographed dance show that happens once every semester. There’s a variety of dance genres, from breakdance to weird art concept dance, and a range of dancers from the non-experienced to trained. This semester’s dance features both Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and a Bjork-soundtracked dance about sunflowers. There are over 100 students participating (probably the reason why Terp sold out a week ago), so you definitely will recognize some of the dancers.
There are two Terp shows tonight, one at 7PM and one at 10PM (the drunk show), and a show at 1PM on Saturday in the World Music Hall. You will probably still get in if you show up early and put your name on the waitlist.
In order to find out a bit more about the choreographers and the choreographing process, I asked this semester’s Terp choreographers about their experience with the show. There are 12 dances in the show, and not all of their choreographers are represented here. Check out the show to see them for yourself!

So, it snowed for the first time last night. I’m assuming this means that winter has started, which is a little scary, but the events of this weekend are making it easier to process. There are many awesome things going on, including cultural shows, dancing shows and performing bands.
Here’s a roundup of some of the things happening:
From Stellar Levy ’15:
Terpsichore is bigger and badder than ever this semester and is looking for dancers (and choreographers) of all types, sizes, and experience levels to be part of an amazing dance community and performance!
The Terpsichore show is an extremely unique showcase of student dancing and choreography that occurs each semester. Any student can choose to choreograph a dance and will present a short phrase at the auditions. Anyone at the audition can try out for any and all pieces! Dances have included Dracula’s Wedding, Space Jam, ballet, modern dance, 80s workout videos, and some great hip-hop.
If you can’t make it to the auditions and want to participate in Terp this semester, OR you have any questions, please contact us at ctong[at]wesleyan[dot]edu or srwilliams[at]wesleyan[dot]edu

Noted campus photographer Mike Nakhla ’13 got some excellent shots at last weekend’s Terpsichore performance, as he is wont to do. The complete album is on Facebook; you can also check it out below. For more of Nakhla’s photography, click here or check out his website.

Terpsichore Auditions!
What show combines football players in Hawaiian print short shorts, Beyonce, body paint, Rihanna, b-boying, tap, jazz, contemporary dance, insane light shows, and zombies sometimes?
One word – Terp.
Terpsichore is a show that happens every semester for any students who want to dance or choreograph, regardless of previous training. These auditions are for the entire Terpsichore show; pieces range from anything from tap and contemporary to ballet and hiphop…and always something fun in between.
ANYONE can choreograph and EVERYONE dances. If you want to choreograph for the show, bring a short excerpt of your dance, or something similar to the dance you will create, and some MUSIC (on an ipod please)!
Resident campus photo menace Mike Nakhla ’13 just sent over this batch of unsurprisingly fantastic shots of Terpsichore’s entirely student-produced show last night. As Terp tradition goes, anyone can choreograph, and everyone who auditioned got to be in at least one piece. Stupidly, I missed it, but according to Sam Melvin ’13, the show featured “the styles included hip hop, break dancing, burlesque (kind of), contemporary, jazz, a fun beach-themed mash-up (huge group number), and a piece to the Natalie Portman Rap.”
