Q: So are you excited for the showcase?
* Yes Im excited for showcase. I’m excited mainly for my small group, I collaborated with four very talented women to make a powerful piece. I am also excited for my hip hop class because its my first year being a choreographer and I feel like everyone in my class has grown as an individual throughout the year. And the dance also has a very powerful message.
Donique Hayne is a sophmore student at Susquehanna. She is majoring in Psychology and is a choregrapher for dance corp.
Q: What attracted you to dance corps?
* Coming to college I wanted to join the swing club which unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore. Dance Corps was the closest thing honestly. I had some experience in dance and I wanted to learn more. I joined Intermediate Hip Hop last year and my passion has expanded.
Q: What is your favorite type of dance?
* Hip Hop
Q: what were your main challenges/
* My main challenge would be making sure we had a safe, creative space where people could be themselves without being judged. Since it was an intermediate class and some people had no experience. So I had to make moves that would enable them to feel comfortable doing it and make them able to make it their own.
Q: What are your hopes for dancing in the future?
* I hope to continue to be the intermediate hip hop choreographer
