Grow Your Dance Session (GYDS) at Trilogy Swing 2019

The GYDS provides an opportunity for Newcomer and Novice dancers to interact with, learn from and practice with a select, invited group of All-Stars and other higher-level dancers using a small-group (pod) approach. There will be 3-4 higher level dancers in each pod, with each group covering key fundamental and core concepts of West Coast Swing such as: Connection, Timing, Footwork, Partnering, etc.... This 2-hour session will begin with a brief Introduction and explanation of the approach, followed by 4 20-minute time blocks so that the participants can rotate to various groups and get a chance to select the topics that they are most interested in covering. We then wrap-up the session with a brief Q&A. The GYDS will be moderated by Alyssa Gillespie. The list of those who have been invited to and/or confirmed as participating include: - Marcus Sterling - Jennifer Norris - Alan Annicella - Dawn Sgarlata - Christina Morton - Rob Glover - Jen Miller - Reginald Beason - Dallas Radcliffe Becirovic - Susan Brown - Maxwell Thew - Raquel W. Nielsen (Reynolds) - as well as others yet to come - and, .......some of our Staff and a few "surprise guests"!!! If you're looking for a way to get some great insights, better understand of some of the things that might be challenging you, or just want a chance to get to know some of those who have been around the dance for a little while now ...... this is a session you will not want to miss!!
