It’s officially winter now. We get 3 hours of sunshine a day, the temperature drops to -12°C at midday, and leaving the house becomes the most difficult challenge of any day ending in a “y”. Luckily Raechel and Shanon are here to break you out of your funk and get you moving all afternoon to keep that core temperature up!
Last time they taught for us here the first half was on lower body mechanics and the second on hitting cool stuff in the music. This time they’re branching out into completely uncharted territory; upper body mechanics and how the followers can extend a pattern and the leads can listen to them!
Here's a list of things they’re planning on covering:
- Posture, pitch, frame, arms, and handholds.
- Pulsing and it's importance in extending patterns.
- Follows: How hijacking is terrorism, and ways to avoid it but still get to add in some cool stuff.
- Leads: How to not freak out, OR be a control freak!
- How to disarm a nuclear device with a pair of paperclips, a pocket knife, and a stick of gum. While it’s in flight.
The last topic will depend on how quickly everyone nails the earlier ones 😊
This workshop will require that you're competent in all the basic patterns and rhythms, and is not for brand new west coast dancers sorry. If you're handling the level 2 or above classes at Street Swing then you'll probably be fine, but if you have any questions then please see Raechel or Shanon after class or better yet book yourself in for a private lesson with one of our amazing teachers!
