PARTNER 101 weekly class
Intro/Beginning
Instructor: Sarah + Dawn
May Thursdays 5:30-6:30p
You want to learn to dance, but don't know where to start? We hear ya. There are many beautiful dances out there to learn, but sometimes just want to take a spin around the kitchen with your sweetie without knocking over the toaster, and so we've developed this no stress, no pressure class for you and your partner.
The goal of this series is for students to learn to utilize the most user friendly and effective aspects of partner dancing, and so we've pulled together a "greatest hits" set of moves...a mixed tape, if you will, of moves that actually work. You'll learn about connection, how to step in rhythm with another, how to find rhythm in all kinds of songs, and how to look good doing it. And yes, you'll learn the secrets to leading and following (spoiler alert, the truth might surprise you).
What's the biggest take-away from this course? You will learn how to love, not fear, dancing.
This class is great for couples looking for a something new to do together, or anyone looking for new ways to expand your horizon! Don’t have a partner?Let us know…we might be able to help :)
No prior dance experience required. We are here for you!
may sign up:
5/9 , 5/16 , 5/23 , 5/30

PARTNER 101 QUICKSTART WORKSHOP
all levels
instructor: Sarah
TBA
$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!
