Director Performance Notes:
It’s a super short intro. I originally was going to have my son and daughter do it. We may still have that for one of the showcases for Video sake, but it’s basically a powerful summary of the of the shows entire message to the AUDIENCE to rise up from the darkness and fight the night for your soul on your way back to the light. Two Dancers are talking to each other about what to say to the people how to get them motivated. It’s an exclamation on gravely important news!
Tiara’s Choreography Time Breakdown:
Dancer # 1
From 00:00 - 00.07 (7 seconds of Dancer # 1)
Dancer # 2
From 00:08 - 00:16 (8 seconds of Dancer # 2)
The second Dancer interrupts or stands in front of Dancer # 1 @“say to them”and continues proclaiming in Dancer for 7 more seconds.
Dancers # 1 and # 2:
From 00:17 - 00:22 (5 seconds of Dancers 1&2 Matching Choreography)
The two dancers K*ll it with 5 seconds of ridiculously hard-core matching parallel choreography.
“Even if you are not ready for the day, it cannot always be night.” if the dancers remain in the scene, they will always match and repeat choreography to these words.
00:23 - 3:47 (3:24 minutes of Runway Models)
00:23 - 00:40 (17 seconds of Dancers 1&2 Matching dance)
00:41 - 00:56 (15 seconds of Dancer #1 Solo)
00:57 - 01:11 (14 seconds of Dancers 1&2 Matching dance)
1:12 - 01:29 (17 seconds of Dancer # 2 Solo)
00:30 - 01:43 (13 seconds of Dancers 1&2 Matching dance
01:44 - 2:04 Dancers leave stage to change into their next
2:05 - 2:15 (10 seconds of not much hype)
02:16 (32 seconds of both dancer hyping up others)
2:18 - 2:49 (14 seconds of new dancer as model/freestyle)
2:50 - 3:05 (15 seconds of not much hype)
03:06 - 3:23 (17 second new dancer dressed as a model /freestyle)
3:23-3:38. (15 second new dancer dressed as a model freestyle solo)
Choreography Ques for:23- :30 seconds of 00:23-00:40
Down down, back, look right front left front, step step, down right, down left, look left front right front, left jab, cross, inner low kick round kick……
and whatever the Choreographer continues on with
Detailed Breakdown of :23- :30 of 00:23-00:40
be night“…close down. Hit beats down/down/push back, quick look right/center/left/center, creep forward with right foot step forward/left foot step forward, bend low squat and with boxer hand up to protect the face dip right/dip left, look left/look right, forward stand into jab cross, kick combination. jab punch..… into high step cool dance moves / being certain to hit the deep bass beats often with choreography. Expecting to take advantage in the arm’s wardrobe to be similar to old-school church bell sleeves cream robes like back in the day when the church choir used to march the back of the church into the sanctuary.
Detail notes for Dancer‘s and Cameraman:
When the music drops (0:23) two dancers will usher out and lead the model line with the first model coming in with you and eventually walking past you because you guys are doing more like a old-school choir marching in from the back of the church style Drumline March (like at a funeral leading the dead back to retrieve their souls) parallel to each other as the next model eventually comes down the center of you. You can decide if you want to stay on and freestyle on verses/ joint choreography on chorus for more camera time or find your way off stage to change for your next performance scene.
If dancers remain in scene, Dancers will remain parallel to one another with enough room for the first Model to walk between them. When the model reaches the middle/center of the two dancers, she will continue walking on as the two dancers follow close behind as if they are band captains ushering out each soldier hyping them up. The dancers can take the verses into their own personal solos as dancers speak the verse lyrics to each other,to the audience with physical crowd interaction as they dance, tapping folks on shoulders, even sitting in an empty chair and getting up testifying and explaining interacting with the models, cameraman, and audience, and in order for that to really look even better dancers must know lyrics so from from beginning to end, this scene looks like a music video from the cameraman’s perspective.

Scene 9:
Menu Title: Victory
Scene Name: Love is Closure
Track: Closure (feat. Benjamin Roustaing) by Massane
Time: 3:38
Performance: Dancer solo & Model Catwalk. Slow-paced walk

Scene 10:
Menu Title: Crowning Finale
Scene Name: STRUT Crown
Track: Sweat Tea (feat. Aaron Marshall) by Polyphia
Time: 4:20
Performance: Entire Full Cast. Dancers open up as the MC calls them out one by one to be introduced.

(BELOW IS SCENE 10 GRAND FINALE CROWNING ENTIRE TRACK BREAKDOWN FOR CAMERAMAN AND CHOREOGRAPHER)
1:00 - 1:02
Dancers do a solo freestyle until on the track, during which dancers may dance together on the chorus.
1:03 - 1:22
Chorus Dance.REPEAT 2X’s. This dance needs to be Simple so it can be repeated by the entire cast. (An easy, fun Shuffle) The
cameraman needs to float around every dancer’s freestyle to get the best interactive footage. MC asks the audience if they
want to see the cast members.
1:22 - 2:00
38 seconds for Models, stylists, designers, and staff to enter down the runway's center of the runway in a single line.
While clapping when they reach the end of the runway, every other cast member peels off to form two parallel lines.
Dancers are behind them. There is enough space away from the audience to do the simple STRUT Shuffle and enough room in the center aisle of the parallel lines to allow the STRUT King or Queen to be filmed accepting their crowning.
2:01 - 2:20
Chorus Dance. REPEAT 2X’s. The cameraman gets great intimate up-close footage of a few seconds of each of the
best-excited models dancing into the camera with positivity, laughter, and fun!
2:21 - 2:50
Cameraman gets exciting footage of running past models in their STRUT T-shirts. MC gives special thanks to all Chorographers,
Sound, DJs, Video, Vendors, Interns, Designers, Stylist, Makeup and Hair Stylist. Current STRUT King and Queens.
2:51 - 3:10
MC is asking the audience if they enjoyed themselves and the message of awareness. MC asks everyone for a drum roll while
describing the next Mr. or Miss. STRUT 2024.
3:11 - 4:20
MC announces the next Mr. or Miss. STRUT 2024 at the climax of the guitar. Crowning takes place. Next year’s cause platform is
mentioned, and why it was chosen is explained. The STRUT Chant is said by the New Mr. or Miss STRUT 2024.
