Texas State dance professor Greer Gisy works as dance supervisor for ‘Hamilton’

Greer Gisy is currently on tour with the “Angelica” tour of “Hamilton,” which opens this Wednesday and will run through Dec. 19 at Bass Concert Hall. However, though Gisy has been a dancer since she was three years old, she will not appear on stage for the duration of the show. Instead, Gisy will watch from the wings as the production’s dance supervisor, the person responsible for the overall cohesiveness of the production’s choreography.

So what are the responsibilities of a company’s dance supervisor?

“It’s an ever evolving position,” Gisy explained. “It’s something that I’m still learning about while doing it, like building a plane while you fly it.”
