Newcomers welcomed and encouraged. Experienced dancers especially encouraged to challenge yourself to grow even more in your dance! Starting from the ground up….focus on posture, balance, timing, cadence with natural movement while gaining more body awareness. Exercises and techniques to help improve your walk, pivots, free leg work and perhaps some ideas for embellishing (how, when and what).
LEADERS please join us to study the role of the follower! Your knowledge of the follower’s role and movement will help you better understand your role as a leader!
Bring flat shoes, heels (if you have them) and socks to dance in.

“Turn your World Around”
Technique and vocabulary for turns and turning movements for the social dance floor. Beginning with fundamental techniques we will quickly progress into deeper technique exploring various turns, working in both open and close embrace. When and how do we use spiral energy? For followers, for leaders? When not?
How can we make turning more efficient, comfortable and dynamic?
These workshops are technique based, with plenty of time for practice and application for maximum integration of the material. Designed for dancers with some experience.
Minimum skills required- In close and open embrace- walking in crossed and parallel systems, some experience turning, pivoting, and basic musicality. Contact me if you have any questions about whether these classes are a good fit for you.
