You can apply for our Choreographer program! 

The opportunity to serve as a Choreographer (Peer Leader) is an invaluable learning experience and may result in future work references and teaching opportunities. Choreographers represent the Hough High School dance program and must be exemplary students and volunteers. Dancers who are seniors (or juniors in some cases) have the opportunity to apply for the Choreography course. This program is designed to give current students hands-on experience towards becoming trained dance instructors and mature leaders. Being part of the Choreography course is considered a great honor and responsibility.
