[Menvi-discuss] movement in choir

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
When I learn dance I meet with the choreographer     one on one. When I ask 
them about the moves I ask them for the terminology, either French or other 
common terminology to describe the moves.
If there is a variation or action I don't know I ask them to please move my 
hands into the right position. I also ask them if I can feel what they are 
doing when they do the same action.
Then I perform the action and usually I'll get a comment that I'm not quite 
there, or that the move is almost there.
I ask them to then explain what is wrong and let me feel them again or have 
them move me again focusing on the part that isn't right. It takes a little 
while, but once I'm able to execute the move flawlessly at least 3 times we 
move onto the next move.
It takes a while, but it is worth it because often you're more firm in your 
knowledge of what to do than your peers.
Please let me know if you have questions,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hello,
I am singing in two choirs.  For our concert, we are singing
Betelehemu with movement.  What I would like to know is, has
anyone ever sang this song and did the movement? If so, how do I
communicate with the directors about the best way to assist me in
learning it as well as during the concert?
Thanks,
