Body Awareness, Foreshadowing Polycentrism and Polyrhythms: Connection Class Series
Advertisement
November we will host a three-week "series" of connection workshops. Each week Dr. Jesse and a different partner will lead a self-contained workshop on a specific facet of blues connection, discussing that facet as it relates to our own bodies, to the music, and to our partner.
11/21 Week 3: Body awareness, foreshadowing polycentrism and polyrhythms -- Dr. Jesse & Dr. Rebecca RG
Polycentrism means having multiple centers of movement in your body. Polyrhythms are multiple different rhythms going at the same time. We'll work towards these ideas by first improving our body awareness.
Details -
Price: $36 with preregistration for all three classes.
Drop-ins allowed at $20 per workshop (but PLEASE, for the love of everything and starting classes on time, bring cash).
Prerequisites: you should have attended at least 2 months of beginner blues lessons, or be comfortable with another lead/partner dance form (although leading and following in blues is different, and we'll talk about that!), before attending these workshops.
Remember to dress in layers - the Spanish Ballroom is not heated.
The social dance 9-11:30 is free with class admission.
