When the 119th Varsity Show’s choreographer, Gina Borden, BC ’14, saw V-Show her freshman year, it was love at first sight.
Borden has been doing choreography since she was 13 years old and dancing even longer. The fact that her friends were involved with the creative team and production team made V-Show an even more compelling prospect for her.
She said, “I’ve been dancing since I was practically a baby. By the time I was in middle school, there was a real emphasis on choreography and generating your own work. That’s when I really started to get into it.”
At Columbia, she has continued to pursue her passions for dance and choreography alike. Not only is she an acting board member of Orchesis, but she has also served as head choreographer for several productions, such as “Zombie Prom” in fall 2011 and XMAS!7 this past December.
