PARTNER 101 QUICKSTART WORKSHOP
all levels
instructor: Sarah
2/15 SUN 3:00-6:00p
$55 per person
You want to learn to dance, but don't know where to start? Perfect. There are many beautiful dances out there to learn, but sometimes just the fundamentals of a of how to move with rhythm and grace with another person are enough.
This 3 hour workshop will focus on actually lead/follow technique that is universal, and the mechanics of traveling, turning, and moving as one. Students will learn how to find and keep a beat, and how to tailor each dance to the particular style of song they are dancing to and how to work with their own natural dance skills. This is not a ballroom course where you learn 'forms' and strict patterns. This class is about learning how to dance in any context with another person. Students leave this workshop not just being the masters of their own dance, but the creators as well. It is a valuable life skill!
What's the biggest take-away from this workshop? You will learn how to love, not fear, partner dancing.
This class is great for anyone looking to hone their partner dance skills without having to choose a specific dance style to master.
*Please bring your favorite music! We will dance to anything! Each participant must sign up individually.

All Levels

Anjali is particularly inspired by the Kathak she grew up watching her Indian Mum perform and from the Mujra in vintage Urdu films.
Having studied Kathak herself as well as Bharat Natyam, Jazz, Ballet and the South Asian folk styles of Garba and Ghoomar, Anjali draws from
many dance traditions for her version of Filmi Item Girl aka Sassy Bollywood.
This workshop is taught in choreography form! You'll learn a progressing routine which helps you develop muscle memory and gives you something specific to practice at home or at Bollywood events!
Anjali, being the renown DJ that she is, will no doubt have a sweet sweet tune for your choreo. Enjoy!!!!
