Improvisation I & II workshops on Friday night: Ever get into a rut, doing the same old moves, wondering what to do to "spice them up"? In these classes, we will learn a set of movements (fairly basic) choreographed to a specific phrase in a song. From that point, leaders and followers will be given variations to use within the patterns. Allowing you to "personalize" that phrase with the movements that you like, and work for you. The object is that by the end of the workshop, we all have slightly different variations of the same patterns, and we do not look like "clones" on the dance floor. These workshops will contain elements of choreography, body movement (rolls & ripples), syncopations and musical interpretation. Workshop II will build off of Workshop I.
PLEASE BE AWARE - THIS EVENT MAY SELL OUT!!!

If you signed up for the classes right before the dances, then we have
automatically put you down for attending the dance. You do not have to
attend if you don't want to, but we wanted to get a pretty good idea of how
many people would be there for the dance.
The price of each dance is $10.00 and Mario said that he would demo on
Friday night!!!
See you there!!
