KizzArt Thursdays Mastering Foundation Skills

KIZZART is happy to present: 🌟🌟🌟 MASTERING FOUNDATION SKILLS II and III WORKSHOP with Trudy Williams 🌟🌟🌟 🌟🌟 ABOUT YOUR TEACHER 🌟🌟 This workshop is delivered by Trudy Williams who as well as being an experienced follower can also lead. Her teaching style is the result of many years dancing and learning urban kiz in Paris and attending musicality master classes by some amazing urban teachers. Trudy's teaching is a mixture of using excercises, focusing on foundations skills as well as steps and encouraging exploration of self expression to the wonderful urban kiz music in a smooth connected way with lots of hints and tips that Trudy has gathered during her dance experience. She has broken down musicality into 5 aspects which she then teaches with detailed explanations of how to lead and follow. The aim is to build a place to experiment and help each other and share yourselves with music. You don't always need a partner to practice when you get confident in your movement your body naturally will lead your partner. With good dancers the lead becomes organic. So keep practicing even when alone. 😊 💖Together we can find YOUR dance.😙💖 Please pm Trudy Williams or Svetlana if you want to know more. 🌟🌟🌟 MASTERING FOUNDATION SKILLS II and III WORKSHOP SCHEDULE 🌟🌟🌟 • Foundation skills II, Learn the Theory then play with exercises and simple moves focused on the foundation skills being learnt.

There are foundation techniques and concepts that are required and sometimes not spoken about in routine based teaching. If you find some moves or routines a bit tricky to lead in the social then you are probably simply just missing some of these skills. Once these are really understood you will find the level of your dance will suddenly improve. Understanding these foundation skills alongside musicality is how you start to create your own moves, style and dance. These workshops are theory and exercises based. Improvisation and trial and error encouraged to explore technique to really understand: For Leads to understand the technique theory as well as the feeling and be able to lead with confidence by repeating until the technique is solidified. For followers the aim is to slow down your step so you can respond appropriately to the lead and improve frame and connection to allow smooth communication from the lead. For both its to help improve the core strength and muscle memory. As these are skills independent of move complexity it is recommended all levels of students do all levels several times to make sure the concepts become second nature. The difference between a beginner and advanced **Leader** is not the complexity of moves. Its about knowledge of techniques and ability to apply them smoothly in learning new moves, ability to execute moves quickly in sequence without basic steps between each move creating a flow, the ability to play with complex musicality, starts and stops, body movement, to recover from unexpected movements and to be able to dance at a level to suite the follower. The difference between a beginner and advanced **Follower** is the ability to know when tension in the frame is required and be able to isolate or turn on and off this tension in a smooth fluid way, the ability and core strength to move, slow down and speed up in a responsive way, being light to lead and not needing the lead to carry you around the dance floor and finally the ability to know when to add musicality and styling in a way that does not affect the leading. In the social practice we will then use the moves that we have learnt and with teacher support we will encourage you to dance to a range of music. Not only will this help muscle memory for the moves but also it will help educate the ear allowing you to dance more naturally whether hard tarraxa, sensual or urban kiz. 🌟🌟🌟MASTERING FOUNDATION SKILLS DANCE LEVEL 🌟🌟🌟 This workshop will suit beginners to advanced.

It has been called French-style, evolution, new-style, urban, modern, etc. This style is based on Kizomba with an influence of hip-hop, tango, bachata, contemporary and many other dance styles. It is characterized by more linear movement, more frequent syncopation and breaks, and an upright stance than your circular classic Kizomba style
