The PROGRAMME

Workshop 1: We are going Back to Basics. Here we will focus on isolation, body movements and how to polish and rock your basic step and move repertoire to look groovy with the music.

Workshop 2: which have been given the graceful nickname “Shine bright like a Diamond - Holy cow (s)he let go of my hands, what to do?!", the focus will be on building improvisation skills so you can shine in your shines.

LUNCH

Workshop 3 & 4: After lunch the focus will be on how to be a better social dancer since social dancing is the primary drive to take classes for all of us. Jakov will teach soft and precise leading, Ingrid attentive following. Together they will teach how to create flow and be musical while social dancing - often called co-creation of the dance. There will of course be turn patterns too!

One of the aims during the third and fourth workshop is to reassemble your "Lego pieces" in creative ways, that is creating awareness of the pieces you have and different ways to build them. All of this are instant way to up your social dancing. They will also touch upon different moods of the music and how to respond to and dance with different energy in the music.
