weekend & special workshops
Advanced partner connection workshop - part II
Sat 25th Feb, 1-4pm
£18/£15 concessions
Venue: SouthBank, Dean Lane, Bristol BS3 1DB
This workshop teaches how to develop an advanced level connection with your partner, and shows how it can be used to add variety to your dancing, both in terms of general energy/dynamics and specific moves that you can do. There will also be time spent on floorcraft - how to be aware of other dancers and how to use the connection to to keep everyone safe - this will also create new moves as you adjust to the changing space. This is for advanced dancers - you should be very comfortable dancing a whole night to different speeds of music, you will have attended dance events/weekends outside Bristol, and have probably been dancing more than 1-2 years (if not sure please ask David/Mithi). This will cover mainly different material to part I in November, but you don't need to have done that to attend this weekend. (We'll look to see if a two hour option is feasible, as on the last one.)
Aerials workshop with Andy & Anna - POSTPONED (please let us know if you're interested and we'll rearrange)
Sun 26th Feb, 3.5 hours - POSTPONED
£20 (sorry no concessions for this one)
Venue: SouthBank, Dean Lane, Bristol BS3 1DB
Aerials are the moves where one partner goes flying through the air or under the legs. These teachers are the experts - Andy is several times UK aerials champion, and they break down the moves easily and make sure everyone feels safe and confident. They usually cover 6-7 different aerials in one workshop, and they will do different ones to their previous workshops here (unless several people ask for one to be repeated), from their repetoire of over 100! This is suitable for all lindyhop levels from beginner to advanced, but you should be generally reasonably fit. There is no partner rotation in this workshop so you need to sign up with a partner.
