Dance Partnering for Men and Women (Dance Partnering for Men and Women)

This is a technique class where, in addition to learning new things, you can learn to do what you already know more smoothly, with more style, more grace, more ease, more confidence. Together we'll explore the secrets, challenges and joys of dancing with a partner. We'll focus on the care and maintenance of partner connection and communication, in a particular dance type or dance style each week. Sometimes the focus will be on a general category of dance, such as traveling dances or stationary dances, other times it will be a specific dance, such as waltz or blues or swing. We'll play with timing, rhythm, balance, weight change, spins and turns, styling, floorcraft, musicality and more, as these pertain to dancing with a partner. If you'd like, each week we'll send you an email, describing what we're doing that week in class. If you want to receive this weekly update, email us at linda@danceeclectic.com and ask to be added to our email list. This is a small, seminar-style class of lively interaction between all participants. We believe that this provides the best learning environment. So!
