Shag workshop

Sun 27th May
12-3pm, £6/£5 per hour
Venue: SouthBank, Dean Lane, Bristol BS3 1DB

A collegiate shag workshop with Ian & Tashi aimed at getting you out on the floor dancing effortless stylish shag! Three sessions each adding different abilities to your shag (if you have not done Shag before then we reccommend doing the 1st & 2nd classes, but not the 3rd).

12pm suitable for absolute beginners, and extremely useful for all as easy shag comes from effortless basics!
1pm when you've got the basic steps you'll need some moves to go with them. Will cover some fun new moves and recap on some from the last course.
2pm focussing on style, ease of movement and saving energy to get you through those fast tunes without breaking a sweat! And some new moves that only come from good technique.

Improvers Intensive weekend

9-10th June, 4 hours each day
Sat & Sun 11am-3pm, £45/£35 concessions for the weekend
This course is designed to really get you confident and proficient in your dancing. You should already have done the beginners course, and ideally have attended some of the improvers classes as well. David and Mithi will review all the basic repertoire (but won't be teaching the moves from scratch), and then teach a few variations over the weekend. The course will have sessions on musicality, floorcraft, adapting to different partners and different music, and will include around an hour for mini one-to-ones with everyone on the course.
