We are honored to welcome Olga Foraponova for a special American Smooth intensive focused on performance depth, movement continuity, and character embodiment.

Olga brings a rare combination of high-level competitive experience and profound understanding of movement principles. Her teaching bridges technique and artistry — helping dancers move beyond steps into intentional, powerful performance.

This is not just another technique dance camp.
This is Performance Intelligence in American Smooth.

⸻

WORKSHOP 1
From Steps to Story: Creating a Character in American Smooth
Inspired by principles of professional acting methodology, this session explores how to build a believable character in your choreography — without overacting or exaggeration.

You will learn:

• How intention transforms movement quality
• How to create emotional authenticity on the floor
• How to avoid “fake drama” and superficial performance
• How to make your dancing feel lived, not posed

Because Smooth is not just danced — it is experienced.

⸻

WORKSHOP 2
Seamless Flow: Connecting Your Movement for Effortless Continuity
Advanced American Smooth is defined by luxurious continuity — not disconnected figures.

This workshop focuses on how to transform separate steps into one uninterrupted movement through:

• Intelligent lowering and compression
• Rotational flow
• Redirection of energy
• Creating softness without losing power

You will leave understanding how to make your dancing look expensive, fluid, and mature.

⸻

WORKSHOP 3
Power &amp; Romance: Exploring Character Archetypes in American Smooth
Performance choices change everything.

In this session, dancers will explore contrasting archetypes in Smooth — from bold, fiery presence to romantic elegance — and how these emotional decisions influence:

• Posture and shaping
• Timing and dynamics
• Frame and projection
• Energy communication

Learn how to consciously choose your performance identity instead of dancing “in between.”
⸻
Who Is This For?
• Competitive American Smooth dancers
• Pro-Am students
• Teachers wanting deeper performance tools
• Dancers ready to elevate from execution to expression
⸻
This camp is designed to challenge, refine, and elevate your American Smooth to the next level.
Spots are limited.
