Kiz Lounge: Workshop with Shack & Emilia: Leading with Intention Following with Direction

We are excited to host Shack at Kiz Lounge as part of the So We Kiz Promotional Tour. Don't miss his incredible workshop‼️ ✨Leading with Intention Following with Direction✨ 7.45pm - 9.45pm Class Overview: This class explores the foundation of true connection in partner dance—where intention leads and direction guides. Through exercises and technique work, dancers will learn to communicate with clarity, trust, and subtlety, beyond just physical contact. 🧭 Key Concepts: Intention: Leading starts in the mind and body—posture, presence, and energy set the tone before touch. 📌Direction: Following is an act of awareness—reading subtle cues through vision, space, and energy. 📌Connection Without Contact: The invisible thread between partners is often stronger than physical connection. 📌Energy & Tension: Understanding how to use controlled energy and resistance to shape and guide movement. 🧩 Class Structure: 🔹 Part 1: Connection Without Contact A guided partner exercise focused on non-verbal communication. 📌Objective: Build awareness of your partner without physical touch or instruction. Leaders will practice: 🔸Projecting intention through posture and presence. 🔸Communicating direction through grounded energy and eye line. Followers will practice: 🔸Reading subtle cues using peripheral vision and body sensitivity. 🔸Reacting with trust, timing, and clarity—without anticipating. 🔹 Part 2: Applying Intention Through Urbhanize Turns Translating the concepts into movement using turns and directional changes. Focus: Urbhanize-style turns with attention to spatial lines and energetic guidance. Leaders will work on: 🔸Guiding turns through clear directional intention, not force. 🔸Using frame and body alignment to create turning pathways. Followers will work on: 🔸Tracking directional energy with precision. 🔸Managing personal axis while staying responsive to tension and release. 🎯 Takeaways: 🔸Develop a deeper connection rooted in awareness, not just physical cues. 🔸Refine your ability to lead or follow with clarity, subtlety, and purpose. 🔸Gain practical tools for navigating turns and transitions through intention and energy. 📌Price £15 + Card Fee 25p or Cash/Paypal No Fee Social - 10pm to 12.30 Free before 9.30pm £5 after (10p card fee applies) or Cash/Card No Fee 📌Location G-Happy Feet Studio 19-23 Ironmonger Row, EC1V 3QW 10 mins from Old Street Station
