What About the Swings? Celia Mei Rubin Reveals Her Main Challenge as Assistant Dance Captain for THE GREAT COMET

In the latest episode of BroadwayWorld's DANCE CAPTAIN DANCE ATTACK, Broadway buddy Ben Cameron got a glimpse into the life of THE GREAT COMET's assistant dance captain Celia Mei Rubin!

As assistant dance captain, one of Rubin's responsibilities is to handle split tracks and cut shows. Rubin explains that, "There are a couple of ensemble features that can really only be swung into by very specific swings. For example, what we do sometimes is we'll have somebody on for say Track #1, but for a certain number she will have to swing into Track #5 because somebody else needs to do the feature of Track #1."
