Please note: Some rhythmic experience (even if it was early in life) is necessary. It doesn't have to be formal education - just that you can follow rhythm. The classes are not suitable for absolute beginners. With slow to moderate tempo and various (repetitive) combinations, there is something for everyone. You can participate and learn the dances you would like.
You will also get free access to the special workshop with live music on June 8th - valid for 3 or 5 weeks subscriptions. (details to follow). If you start later in May, you can use your subscription during June too.
You are curious about Balkan folk dances and culture, or you would just like to learn something new while keeping active, or surprise someone with an unusual gift? Balkan folk dances are chain dances with repetitive steps - no partner is required. This is not Bregovich music! :)
What to expect in the class (duration 1h, incl. 5 min break) :
* Basic exercises and music for warm up.
* Break down and practise some basic steps / combinations.
* Learn a few dances - some are with very easy combinations, others might be a bit more complicated. You can participate as you wish.
The evening will continue with social dance part (duration 30 min).:
* We can practise some of the dances without detailed explanations.
* Socialise or learn more advanced dances.
* Other related music/social activities.
What to wear:
Please bring a clean pair of soft shoes that you will use only in the studio (trainers are ok, or others that are not with hard sole. They don't have to be special dance shoes). I reserve the right to refuse participation if you don't have it. Dancing barefoot or with socks is not suitable.
The studio is in Santry, just beside Omni shopping centre, near bus stops and with free parking. It is on the first floor, accessed by narrow stairs.
