"We start out in a very sporadic form, and toward the middle of the piece come together, but by the end of the song, we're spread out again," she said. "It's kind of symbolizing our time in Tapestry and the memories we've made before we all go our own way."
Tapestry President Katie Sienkiewicz (senior-advertising) said this show is special to her because it's the last time she'll dance with the group.
"I've been in this company for four years, and I've been president for three of them," Sienkiewicz said. "This show is very important to me because the seniors choreographed their final piece together."
Sienkiewicz said although the group's primary focus is tap dancing, the show incorporates different styles of dance.
"We really like to add variety to our numbers," she said. "Even though we're a tap group, we also have styles like ballet, modern and jazz throughout, too."
During this year's performance, includes a variety of dances to music ranging from Ray Charles' "Hit the Road Jack" to the Black Eyed Peas' "Pump It."
Mallory Cranmer (sophomore-microbiology) has been a member in the company for two years and said she decided to be a student choreographer this year.
"It took me a few months to get everything choreographed and teach everyone the dance," she said. "It's kind of a variety of things, but it's got a jazzy feel to it."
Cranmer said the number of dances a member is determined by the frequency of practices.
"I'm in four numbers, including the full company performance," she said. "We're getting all of them put together all week for Sunday's show."
Cranmer said she's been dancing since she was 5 years old, and it really helps her deal with everyday pressures.
"I think it's just a stress relief and a way to express myself, which I really enjoy," she said. Filoseta said she thinks the audience will really enjoy some of the upbeat performances in this year's show.
"The Black-Eyed Peas number is the full company number, and it's going to be a lot of fun," Filoseta said. "It's really upbeat, and it's a really exciting number, and there's 12 different numbers all together."
Tapestry is currently made up of 30 members who perform the shows, choreograph numbers and pick out costumes.
"Each number is choreographed by a student, who picks out the costumes, too. Sometimes, they even make them," Filoseta said. Filoseta added that the wide variety of dances in this year's performance is different from past years' shows.
"We have numbers with 16 people in them, but then we have duos and trios, too, which is new to this year, I think," she said.
Cranmer said she's really looking forward to this year's show and seeing the results of all the hard work the group's put into the show.
"People can come out and see us having a lot of fun," she said. "We're doing what we love to do."
Members of the dance group Tapestry rehearse for their performance this weekend.
