ONE of Melbourne’s top choreographers has been jazzing up a routine for a group of Cranbourne dancers.
Contemporary Independent Dance (CID) has welcomed Luke Alleva to its Cranbourne studio for five weeks to choreograph a jazz routine.
CID principal and artistic director Nicole Jacobsson said Mr Alleva was creating the routine in celebration of the school introducing jazz this year and to share his knowledge with the Casey-Cardinia dance scene.
“Luke is a great network and contact of mine and has offered his skills to us to broaden the jazz dance scene for suburban aspiring dancers,” she said.
Mr Alleva is not only a choreographer but also a dancer, actor and singer who has worked extensively throughout Australasia and internationally.
He most recently worked as dance captain in Cat Stevens’ musical Moonshadow and is currently working as the choreographer of the highly acclaimed Hot Shoe Shuffle, which performed to sold out audiences in both Melbourne and Sydney.
