Led by The Great Gatsby choreographer Richard Lamberty, participants will learn steps to the "Charleston," the "Waltz," the "Turkey Trot," and the "Shimmy." After a short dance tutorial in a studio rehearsal hall, participants will get to practice the dances from the production on the set of The Great Gatsby.
