Join Sara White, a Queen of Modern Blues, for an exclusive dance workshop designed to elevate your understanding of blues movement, expression, style and refine your musicality. In this immersive session, you will dive into the heart of modern blues, exploring a range of advanced techniques, improvisation strategies, and stylistic nuances that define this beautiful dance.
Whether you're a blues dancer, a ceroc dancer, or someone looking to expand your dance vocabulary, this workshop will help you connect with the music on a deeper level, unlocking fresh ways to express rhythm, emotion, and style through movement.
Sara will guide dancers through:
• Musicality & Movement: Learn how to listen deeply to the blues and translate its rhythms, phrasing, and emotional cues into movement. Explore how to feel the subtle shifts in the music and respond with body movements that reflect the soul of the song.
• Blues Phrasing: Discover how to interpret the blues' unique phrasing and syncopation with your body. Sara will break down how to feel and express the groove—whether it's a slow, sultry blues or an upbeat shuffle—and find your personal style within that groove.
• Stylistic Techniques: Delve into the signature movements of modern blues dancing, including footwork variations, body isolations, and dramatic pauses. Learn how to use body tension and release to convey emotion and connect with the partner or the audience.
• Emotional Expression: Blues is all about feeling, and this workshop will emphasize how to channel deep emotion through your movements. Sara will share how to use your body to express the full spectrum of blues emotions, from sorrow to joy, passion to reflection.
• Partner Connection: In addition to solo movements, you’ll explore how to communicate and create a cohesive connection with your partner, bringing your personal interpretation of the music into the dance.
• Improvisation: Let go of rigid routines and embrace improvisation. Learn how to take risks on the dance floor, responding to the music’s changes with freedom and creativity, while maintaining the grounded feel of blues.
This workshop is perfect for dancers who want to deepen their understanding of the modern blues genre, learn new techniques to bring more flavour into their dancing, and tap into the emotional essence of the music.
Whether you’re an experienced blues dancer or new to the genre, Sara’s expert guidance will empower you to express yourself more fully and confidently through movement.
