In week 5 of our “For the Love of Musicals” course we look at four musicals that won Tony Awards.
One of those that we look at is “A Chorus Line.” We add a bit of exercise and fun to the unit by offering three YouTube videos that teach students dance moves. The chosen videos cater to beginners, advanced, and expert dancers.
