SATURDAY
☼ Lead, Follow, and Dance at the Same Time – Part I (120 min) ☼
We see many dancers alternate between leading/following and fully dancing. We will explore mental and physical techniques to maintain leading and following while dancing expressively. As dancers, we will focus on techniques for balancing individual voice and maintaining cohesion with our partner.
– Lunch break –
☼ Social Dancer As Artist (60 min) ☼
Sometimes dance classes focus solely on improving technique. We love good technique, but we also feel that it’s important to focus on developing ourselves as improvisational artists, even if our audience is just our partner and ourselves during those few minutes. This class will focus on making artistic choices, expressing yourself in different ways, and being influenced by your partner to make different artistic choices. Develop your own voice as an artist. Art more. Art better. Art, art, art!

☼ Dancing with Anyone (60 min) ☼
On the social floor, do you find yourself grasping for what to do when dancing with someone who has a different amount of experience from you? We will explore how to bring your best dancing to your partnerships at all levels, from beginner combined with masters, and everywhere in between. In addition to concrete techniques, we’ll explore mentalities and how to have an enjoyable, musical dance with anyone.
