Origin of Choreography Showcase Take a glance back at how Choreography Showcase began with Opus II Dance Studio Founder, Hellie Schussler.
The year was 1986. We were in our 2 nd studio space, 19 East Third Street (the old Sharp’s
Grocery Store Warehouse). It was dingy and cold – but it was a good place for us. We liked it. Our
first Stravinsky was created there, as was our first production of The Little Mermaid. more -

- “ I just wanted to say thanks for giving us the opportunity to come back and take class. It's always such an amazing thing to do, even if I can't do it as well anymore! It's funny though how walking back through those doors and into the studio can transform me back into a school-girl again. It feels like I never left. Feels like home. I just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thanks. ” - Jackie (Bull) Zorich, Alumna
