The first topic of the year, in this monthly series, is how to flow with head movements. This one has been a popular request ๐ We will be focusing on improving comfort and ease while flowing through head movements for both leaders and followers. This is something we are really passionate about as we want our beautiful Zouk scene to keep growing always, but we want to make sure that we all have the skills to dance in a way that feels good and allows us to keep dancing for many years to come ๐ we will explore open and close embrace so you have options even when it is a busy dance floor!
As this is a 3 hour intensive we will have more time to explore the little details which can make a big impact ๐ค It also allows you to consolidate and practise with a range of people. This way our bodies are able to absorb and understand the feeling too ๐ not just our minds intellectually understanding but not being able to put it into practice. Everyone who attends will receive individual feedback and dance with us too to make sure our feedback is personalised to help you get maximum value out of the sessions ๐ค
This intensive is open to zouk dancers who are already comfortable with foundational footwork (basic, lateral, viradinha, lunge, simple turn, bonus etc) and have at least some experience with head movements. Sadly this workshop is not suitable for those wanting to try zouk for the first time or have only just started zouk as we need to maintain the safety of our attendees and we will be assuming knowledge of foundational footwork. If you are unsure whether this is you, then reach out and we can work out if your level is appropriate ๐ we will run intensives aimed at various levels over the year.
This intensive will explore:
๐ The body mechanics behind head movements (spoiler: most of the time the head is not actively moving, it's other parts of our body allowing it to appear that way)
๐ How to lead head movements in a clear way that is comfortable for your follower
๐ How to surrender as a follower to be able to follow more precisely and reduce discomfort
๐ Improving your confidence to lead and follow head movements in both open and close hold variations
๐ What to do if a head movement doesn't go to plan when you are dancing
๐ Practice time so you can put into practice with you have learnt and problem solve any difficulties
We can't wait to see you all ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ
