November we will host a three-week "series" of connection workshops. Each week Dr. Jesse and a different partner will lead a self-contained workshop on a specific facet of blues connection, discussing that facet as it relates to our own bodies, to the music, and to our partner. 11/14 Week 2: Dancing yourself in partnership - Dr. Jesse & Rachel Jawin
In Blues, the "lead" and "follow" roles are pretty equal. In this class we'll work on being a dancer first, with the music as our primary partner, and discuss how that plays out in partnered connection.
Details -
Price: $36 with preregistration for all three classes.
Drop-ins allowed at $20 per workshop (but PLEASE, for the love of everything and starting classes on time, bring cash).
Prerequisites: you should have attended at least 2 months of beginner blues lessons, or be comfortable with another lead/partner dance form (although leading and following in blues is different, and we'll talk about that!), before attending these workshops.
Remember to dress in layers - the Spanish Ballroom is not heated.
The social dance 9-11:30 is free with class admission.
