Part 2: "Dance Modes - Change with purpose." 3hr Fusion Dancing Workshop @ FlowState.Studio 🏰 Part 1: "Musical Phrasing: Numbers that matter." 🏰 Fundamentally we're talking about why we count to eight and what it means dancers. We'll talk about hitting our “one” of an eight count phrase, and how to look good doing it. We'll also be going over how to identify different phrases in a song, e.g the bridge, chorus, verse Etc, and how to use phrase changes as a way to incorporate musical styling into your dance. Expect a practice in intuitive listening, song deconstruction, and improving your ability to hear and perform the musical nuance of our favorite songs while you dance. 🏰 Part 2: "Dance Modes - Change with purpose." 🏰 This class talks about Mode Switching as an emerging ideology in the fusion world. This is the idea that Fusion dancing is a series of different movement modalities or ‘Modes” that we specialize in switching between with intention, style and musicality. A basic example is the intentional switch between established dance styles, like Blues and say Tango mid dance. More nuanced examples might be changing connection points, step patterns, or the feeling of a movement from slow and gooey to fast and precise. We'll explore what a mode is, when we are using them and most importantly how we are intentionally communicating with our partner. We would be honored if you would join us! 🧳 Things to Bring 🩰 Non-street dance shoes or dance-able socks 👖 Things to Wear 👕 Avoid wearing jeans or constrictive pants to the workshop if you can. 💃🏻 About Your Hosts 💃🏻 REN ENBY is straight out of San Francisco, Ren (she/they) has a dance education mixing elements of West Coast Swing, Tango, Blues, Kizomba Hip Hop and Zouk.
