An Advanced* Workshop by Classic 2025 Level 4 Freestyle 1st Place winners and Simply 2025 Masters - Cherise and Guido!
Qualities of Movement
This advanced workshop dives into the six core qualities of movement: Sustain, Suspend, Collapse, Percussion, Vibration, and Swing — and how to weave them into your Modern Jive. We’ll build a richer movement vocabulary through guided solo drills, and learn how to add contrast, texture, and musicality to your partner dancing.
We'll cover:
- Fluidity through Sustain
- Dynamic tension and release through Suspend and Collapse
- How to isolate and accent with Percussion and Vibration, while staying connected
- Pendulum motion, bounce, and groove using Swing
Expect to challenge your movement and musicality, learn how each quality can shape the feel and impact of your dancing, and leave with tools to put more dance in your partner dancing.
Ticket available on the door. $20 for the workshop, $10 for the tea dance, or $25 for both.
*IMPORTANT: These workshops are designed to challenge and grow our most experienced dancers, and so we are restricting the main rotation to those who have recently competed at a Level 3 and Level 4 dancers.
If you are comfortable in Int+ and would like to experience these workshops but do not qualify for Level 3 or 4, you are welcome to bring your own partner and not rotate. However we ask that you refrain from asking questions, or save them until after class.
