INTERMEDIATE LESSON DESCRIPTION “Stop & Listen” Dancing is a conversation between you and who you’re dancing with. To be great dancers, we must be great listeners. In this class we’ll learn how to be more attentive and react to each other’s movements . We’ll also go over the importance of frame and how to use it in our dancing. WHAT IS BAREFOOT FUSION? Fusion as a style was created by dancers from many different backgrounds creating a common dance language, so that dancers of all different styles and skill levels can share the floor. It’s partnered, improvisational, and dynamic. Come on out and learn with us, and you’ll be able to connect with music in a new way, gain a more complete understanding of your body, and join a worldwide community of partner dancers. Barefoot is a POC & LGBTQIA safer event. This means bigotry of any kind is not tolerated. If you experience or see anything questionable, please let someone on the Portland Blues & Jazz Dance Society team know. Thanks for helping keep our dance a safe and welcoming space for all!
