charleston 1 Workshop

Beyond Beginning
Instructors: Rachael + Colin
SAT 2/21 2:00-5:00p
$60 per student

Charleston is the OG Swing dance, and it melds seamlessly with dances like lindy hop that developed later. This exciting, energetic dance is quick to pick up and enjoy, but also has many variations to explore.  Each workshop will begin with the same introduction to the basic Charleston footwork and connection, but then will explore a different aspect of this dance.  Come back again and again to collect all of the different variations!

PARTNER 101 QUICKSTART WORKSHOP

all levels
instructor: Sarah
3/8 SUN 3:00-6:00p
$60 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.
