We had such an amazing time last time, and we look forward to making it better EVERY TIME! MUSIC by the fabulous DJ POWER!!!!! WORKSHOP STARTS @ 9PM By Bachatero Gregory Kritsky. This LAB’s workshop will be an exploration of leading and following DIPS. The moves will be taught in a way that is transferable to multiple styles and genres of dancing. We will play with musicality and body isolations to explore the best ways of starting, executing, and coming out of a dip. Be prepared to switch roles of leading and following and to add some awesome skills to your repertoire of dance moves! ***If you don't dance bachata (and you don't have to but it might be fun) and would like to learn the basics to enhance your workshop experience, stay tuned for the first PRE-LAB!!

LOCATION: Will vary...please stay tuned for each event. ******************Origin of the name THE LAB***************** While assisting in private dance lessons, many times students were afraid of getting a move wrong. Even when they were encouraged to TRY and EXPLORE to 'see what happens' with permission to figure our how to get out of a move they were not familiar with, to learn how to lead through something **unplanned**, or **create something cool from something unlearned** there was a fear of failure and a fear of not knowing. I understood, I have felt the same. But I also saw the value of having such a special opportunity. At one moment I suggested a student think of the space we were in for the lesson as a Lab! It's a SAFE place, with GOOD intentions a place to LEARN, GROW and EXPLORE. It is a place where things can work out in ways unplanned and it can be amazing! But, YOU.. I...WE ...HAVE TO, TRY! So let's! :) ********************************************************************** JOIN ME, DJ POWER, featured artists in an explorational, talent-filled, fun, connected night of dancing and amazing MUSIC!
