Get ready to expand your musicality with accents and breaks. In this workshop, we'll be exploring how to dance to accents in the music and how to hit the breaks (when the music stops). After these workshops, you'll begin to fully understand how to compose a dance based on its musical structure while using your partnership to acknowledge strong and subtle musical moments. These workshops are specifically designed for West Coast Swing dancers who want to expand their own musical consciousness and develop a greater appreciation for the dance.
