Razzamatazz! A Choral Movement DVD: Choral DVD

Sally and Andy remove the guesswork from staging by giving you three detailed views of every piece: a full mirror-image performance, clear step-by-step instruction, and a unique double-angle perspective that shows movements from both the front and behind. Rather than spending rehearsal time figuring out choreography from written descriptions, your singers learn directly from expert demonstrators, freeing you to focus on vocal technique and musicality while still delivering visually engaging performances.

Energetic, fun, and immediately performable. The 11 pieces range from contemporary pop songs to spirituals and world music, each with straightforward choreography that looks polished without requiring dancers or extensive rehearsal. Your singers will feel confident on stage, and your audience will see the difference movement brings to storytelling and musical expression.

Directors who want to add movement to their concerts but lack the time or expertise to create original choreography from scratch. This DVD works equally well for middle school, high school, and community choirs seeking accessible staging that energizes both singers and audiences.

• Watch the instructional section first with your entire ensemble before attempting to learn the movements; pausing and rewinding lets singers isolate individual steps without feeling rushed.
• Use the mirrored performance as your reference when teaching; having singers watch the camera-facing version while they mirror your movements reinforces muscle memory faster than verbal cues alone.
• Reference the double-shot perspective during the second or third rehearsal of the choreography; singers often need to see movements from behind to understand how their body placement looks to an audience.
• Block movement vocabulary in your rehearsal space before assigning specific staging; this helps singers with spatial awareness and prevents collisions during your first full run-through.

Ideal for holiday concerts, spring pops shows, or any concert where you want to balance musical substance with visual entertainment. These pieces work particularly well as opening numbers or finale selections that engage audiences immediately and send them home energized.
