💃CLASS TOPIC💃
Technicolor Musicality: Harnessing the Elements
by Jonathan Liu
It’s easy to get caught up in complicated patterns or techniques while we’re partner dancing, but at the end of the day, what we want most is a musical dance. Even the simplest movements feel great when they are connected to the music. In this class we’ll explore how to introduce different colors into our dance and expand our musicality palette. By drawing inspiration from the elements – fire, air, water, earth – we’ll learn how to create deeply musical dances with simplicity. This class will involve improvisational games and challenge you to get out of your comfort zone – come ready to explore and have lots of fun together!
