12:30 - 1:30pm: "The Secret Art Of Effortless Dance / Advanced Concepts in Partnering & Connection"
The hallmark of great dancers is that they are aware of and utilize energy, direction, momentum, rotation, and tension in their partnership more than just memorizing footwork or patterns. Understanding these concepts can be taught at every skill level, and opens up an exciting world of possibility for improvisation and "conversational" movement in your dance. In this class we'll focus primarily on compression, extension, swiveling, and creating rotational movement. Informative, engaging, insightful, fun! (All welcome - No partner needed but always encouraged!)
1:45 - 2:45pm: "Swinging Outside the Box"
Building on the concepts covered in our "Advanced Partnering & Connections" class, we'll use East Coast Swing as a foundation to learn how to break out of six-count rhythms and explore alternate counts and fun, improvisational combinations & stylings. Perfect for both non-novice beginning dancers or for experienced dancers who want to focus on partnering and connection while learning a whole lot more about swinging outside the box. Can be taken as a stand-alone, but much better if taken in conjunction with the "Adv Partnering & Connections" class
3:00 - 4:00pm: "Fabulous, Fun, Night Club 2Step that Flows"
In this very fun, very unique NC2 class, you'll learn to spice up your repertoire with some fabulous elements borrowed from East Coast Swing (and a few other dance styles) that wrap, unwind, and flow in clever ways, resulting in beautiful, savory combinations that will leave envious onlookers sighing wistfully -- Not to be missed! Can be taken as a stand-alone, but much better if taken in conjunction with the "Adv Partnering & Connections" & "Swinging Outside The Box" classes.
