Exploring “Great” Country Swing with Connor Stubbs!

Oregon State University Physical Activity Courses Dance Program is excited to host special guest instructor Connor Stubbs, hailing from Idaho for a weekend full of country swing dancing! Workshops are open to anyone 14+ with “beginner plus” experience! We encourage you to have your basics down and have some experience with country swing before taking this type of intensive workshop. Friday/Saturday evening social dancing will be open to the public! Registration link (registration starts Oct 10!): https://health.oregonstate.edu/pac/sampler-classes Description: How can we pursue excellence in country swing while staying true to what country swing is? And what is it, exactly? On Saturday, we will take 5 hours to dive into connection, moves and movement, musicality, and expression - all the while facilitating the ability for leads and follows to make intentional choices about their own country swing. On Sunday, we will take 3 hours to add a deeper and more challenging layer to each of these concepts within the frameworks of social dancing and artistry. We will conclude the weekend with an intimate social dance focused on country swing for workshop participants only.
