Freestyle and Shines

Join me four Wednesday nights for an hour and a half of freestyle training. In this class, we will not only work on learning movements, sequences and shines, but we will work on the concepts of musicality, and improvisation. We will work on building creative, grounded, musical and INDIVIDUAL connection to the music in each dancer. This class goes beyond only working on a teacher lead sequence and delves into learning how to create a sequence on your own and in the moment. Freestyle. We will work on expression through the music and our own individual interpretations and response to what we are Listening and moving to.

Please be prepared to be watched while you dance. Turning off video is always an option in class, but to get the most out of the instruction and the class please consider being willing to receive constructive criticism.There will also be some one-by-one dancing in this class for those willing to participate (not mandatory).
