I'm excited to be doing another Switch workshop with some more new switch moves and transitions, as well as exploring how switch can combine with other types of rueda!
Rueda Switch is an exciting and super-fun rueda format where the leaders and followers switch roles. 💃🏻↔️🕺Rueda Switch is fun way to quickly double the chaos in a fast-paced flowing rueda!
Never danced rueda switch before?
No problem! At the start of the workshop we will introduce and revise the basic rules of switch before exploring how switch concepts work with common rueda calls. As long as you can both lead and follow in rueda then this workshop is for you!
An experienced switch dancer or attended our switch workshops before?
No problem! It's important for everyone to revise the basic calls that we use each session because switch is a dynamically evolving style of rueda and there are different calls used to clarify exactly how and where the "switch!" is happening in different scenarios. There will always be a few new switch moves or transitions, so everyone will learn something new!
We will then be moving on to explore Rueda Alegria switch concepts and providing a whole new level of chaos and hilarity! Each workshop we also add different moves, structures or combinations so there's always new chaos 😉
Not sure what to expect?
When dancing rueda switch, everyone needs to be able to both actively lead and actively follow in a rueda! This workshop is open to anyone who can both lead and follow in rueda and is aimed at intermediate/advanced level regular rueda dancers (ask if you're not sure whether it's for you!) You must be able to both lead and follow basic rueda calls (eg dame, enchufle, directo, sacala/exhibela, sombrero, lazo, cero, pasaela) to join us, so if you're not confident in one of your roles, I would highly recommend that you attend a few salsa and rueda classes in your less familiar role to prepare. Please let me know in rueda class if you want to practise your least confident role so that I can support you!
Do I need to book?
For rueda switch workshops you do not need to pre-book, however, please be aware that previous workshops have sold out, and that I have limited the numbers to try have numbers for ideas I want to introduce.
The price of the workshop is £12.50. For card payments please book using this site: www.ticketsource.co.uk/rueda-alegria or speak to me/send a message if paying cash and you wish to reserve a pass.
