What is the difference between a masterwork and a Repertory EtudeTM?
A. A masterwork is a work of art created by a choreographer. A Repertory Etude TM is a preservation/education tool that is created by a choreographer specifically to provide insight into a specific dance or style. While there are usually some restrictions on who can perform full masterworks, the general public is given broad license to perform and teach Repertory EtudesTM. As with music etudes, some Repertory EtudesTM are also masterworks.
