2017 WORKSHOP
Workshops have been confirmed and we are excited to offer a wide range of talent.
Neil Robertson - Salsa / Katie Hanson - Contemporary / Damara Sylvester - Capoeira
Please let your teachers know what workshop you would like to be in and we will try our best to fit you in.
Descriptions:
* Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. It was developed in Brazil at the start of the 16th century. It showcases power, speed and cunning, across a wide variety of kicks, spins and techniques. In this introductory workshop, Damara will introduce the "jinga," the main move of the capoeira form, as well as delving into a few of the kicks and dodges. Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35qxelMt6E
* Contemporary - This workshop is to help you think about and explore moving with another person in an interesting and complex way. It will involve supporting and possibly lifting another person, and being supported and possibly lifted in a safe way. A great way to explore new techniques and ideas for creating more complex choreography, and could help you bust out some great moves on the general dance floor anyway.
* Salsa. The workshop will teach the basic rhythm and foot work for LA style salsa. The emphasis will be on fun . There will be some pointers on how to partner dance and I will also teach a short shine ( so that you can show off your moves without a partner. Bring your dance shoes, a positive attitude and a smile
