Our Beginning Swing class in July will be taught as an amibidance dance lesson. What does that mean? It means Everyone Leads, Everyone Follows. Instead of segregating into a lead or follow role within the first few minutes of class, which you maintain throughout the 4-weeks (when you may not know which role suits you because you've never done partner dancing before!), everyone will learn how to lead and follow each move in every class.The benefits of learning ambidance style: even though the lessons may cover less moves and are at a slower pace, you develop a deeper knowledge of the moves and enhance connection with your partner; you learn things twice, which helps retain what you've learned; allows the class to always be balanced between leads and follows - no one sits out a partner rotation; role exploration without gender bias and stereotypes; inclusive of everyone and active participation by both roles during lesson - no one tunes out. You get to dance with everyone in the class and not just those of the opposite role!
No dance experience needed. This class is appropriate for all levels of dancer; we welcome those who have danced a specific role and would like to try the other.
Details:
Cost: $15/$10 for students, $50/$40 for the 4-week series
