Blues, fusion and swing dancers - this is a night for you! Two workshops and social dancing to blues, jazz, funky tunes and everything in between that's fun to dance to.
The first workshop is to get your creative juices flowing. We'll be looking at how can you relax into your movements more and find flow in your dancing. Learning how to bring that play into your dance so you can create a fun conversation on the dance floor with your partner. Being free in your own dancing will help you find creativity in your partner dancing.
The second workshop will look closely at concepts of leading and following in partner dance. We'll look into how you can be more confident in either the lead or the follow role when you dance so that you can more efficiently find flow between the two of you. Lead and follow are two halves of one dance, find how you can step into your half of the dance even more.
3:00pm – 4:00pm – Creativity and getting into fun
4:10-5:10pm – Leading and following concepts for more flow in your dance
7:00pm – 9:30pm social dancing
Because these workshops are conceptual and not moves based they will be suitable for beginners and more advanced dancers alike. Some knowledge of basic blues, lindy hop or west coast swing will be useful.
About your host:
Helen has been dancing swing and blues since 2000 - yes a very long time! She's taught lindy hop and blues in Edinburgh UK from 2005-2014 and ran many blues workshops and weekend events during that time, including Edinburgh's blues weekend Bluez Cruize and the UK's first blues and fusion weekend party in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Helen loves mixing things up in partner dance and has experienced many styles of partner dance and solo dance. After an extended hiatus she has decided it's time to bring her flavour of blues, fusion and creative partner dance fun to Brisbane.
