Intuitive Partnering Course - New Concept and Materials
This is a unique course that no one else teaches. It's a discovery of mine by constantly innovating in the art of teaching while being in the field (teaching workshops all over the world).I will only be teaching this in Alameda and Fresno locations only.If you see me teaching at other venues and cities (Allegro and Mamajuana), it's for the Absolute Beginners Only and won't include the "new concept" materials.
So, Following the completion of the Footwork Course, we’re excited to introduce Intuitive Partnering — a deeper dive into the unique and vibrant world of Bachata Dominicana.Unlike more structured partner dances, Bachata Dominicana places a strong emphasis on the beat but does not follow strict timing or rigid lead-and-follow rules. The goal in this course is to break from Lead and Follow Roles. Adhering the Partner Principle, and Breaking them at the same time.
Traditional Bachata is remarkably independent, offering about 90% freedom for each dancer’s self-expression, with only about 10% relying on lead and follow dynamics.This course demystifies that balance by teaching dancers how to connect intuitively with their partners while maintaining personal freedom and emotional expression. Drawing from my experience teaching students in Asia, Europe, Bay Area and Fresno lately, I have developed methods to help you lean into this natural, fluid way of dancing.
What we will cover:
Lead/Follow Principle in Bachata Dominicana
How to make it Simple (Structured Training)
Timing Principle (on1/on3)
Non-Led/Follow Footwork
Led Based /Follow Footwork
Communication Principle
The Flow Principle
The Trinity Principle
Lead/Follow Drills (Footwork, Patterns and Body Movements)
I'm making this a 6 -Week program. I feel that the 4-week course I offered previously isn't quite enough for most students.
Date: August 21 (Every Thursday for 6 weeks)
Hours: 8:00-9:30pm
Student: Open Levels
