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.
Schedule
4:00 - 8:00pm Accents and Breaks Workshop
This segmented workshop will explore how to accent count "one" of the musical phrase, acknowledge accents in the music, and hit major breaks (stops). There will be periodic breaks throughout. Dinner will be served at 6pm. Feel free to bring anything you like to our community table.
8:00-11:00pm Social Dance Night
Let's dance!! Dance the night away to the best West Coast Swing music. We'll play some Hustle, Salsa, and Nightclub Two Step upon request, too.
