Paso Doble Workshop with Brian Coyne!

The Paso Doble is a theatrical Latin dance with Spanish and French origins. It is a dramatic dance that tells a story through sharp, staccato movements, striking body poses, and flamenco-style footwork. This is an all-levels workshop but it does require basic ballroom familiarity with dances like Foxtrot or Tango. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Class Schedule~ 12:00 pm: Registration / Check-in Section 1: Warmup – In section one we will begin with some basic warm-up exercises, stretches, and muscle activation that are required to produce a proper Paso Doble. Section 2: Basic Bronze Paso Doble Break – Section two is about setting up a good foundation of basics and placing them in a basic bronze-level dance routine. Section 3: Silver/Gold Paso Doble – The third section is using those basics and taking them up a notch by adding some very typical and classic Paso Doble steps that bring out the unique characterization of Paso Doble. Section 4: Beyond Basics – The fourth section is taking all that to a more creative and open level of dancing. This section will be done without a dance partner and is used for the students to really get into the mood and character of Paso Doble. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each workshop is $50 or 5 punches from your Punch Card if you pre-register up to the day before. Or $60 at the door. Register in person or click “Book” next to the workshop you would like to take on the calendar!
