CPS Welcomes Guest Choreographer, Dwayne Worthington

Dwayne Worthington will work with CPS dancers this winter.

Guest choreographers are an integral part of the dance program at CPS. Part of the educational goal in teaching and working with high school students is to expose them to a variety of different styles and disciplines in dance. Students tend to come into the dance department with a preconceived notion of what "Dance Is" or what it means "To Dance". CPS deconstructs these ideas, by giving students a an opportunity to personally work first hand with Artists. Choreographers join CPS for 1-2 months to develop a new piece of choreography or to teach from the choreographers repertoire

Dwayne Worthington, a Paterson New Jersey native, hails from Durham, North Carolina. Dwayne received his MFA in dance from California State University Long Beach and his BFA from North Carolina School of the Arts.  He is currently touring with Robert Moses’ Kin and has also been a company member of Randy James Dance Works and Nicholas Leichter Dance. Dwayne has had the great pleasure of working with such choreographers as Betty Jones, Sherone Price, Lynn Jackson, Mark Dendy, and Dominique Boivin.
