“The Carousel of Grief” - Choreo I Final
.
Grief is a deep, powerful feeling of sorrow that is traditionally broken down into five smaller stages:
-Denial
-Anger
-Bargaining
-Depression
-Acceptance
“The Carousel of Grief” tackles these five stages through an acapella tap piece where every dancer is in a different stage on a journey towards personal acceptance.
