Saturday, August 16:
10:30 am: Class at Cleveland Heights Recreation Center
Balboa: Clearer Movement and Communication
This class is about breaking your Balboa away from patterns by focusing on how we communicate movements as partners. We'll work on precision by exploring layers like floor interaction, flow through body movement, and awareness of axis so that we can move more effortlessly and interpret the music more rhythmically.
12:45 pm: Lunch
2:15 pm: Class at Cleveland Heights Recreation Center
Blues: Shared and Independent Movement in Embrace
Even in embrace position we can have very different but compatible movement. We'll start by finding some of the ways our connection points can dynamically move and change while dancing together. From there, we'll explore what happens when choose to mirror movement or make independent choices while keeping the dance comfortable and cohesive.
8-11pm: Social Dance with Burning River Blues at Blues & Balboa in the Heights
