This workshop is designed for everyone who has taken our Fundamental/ Beginners block of classes over the past few month. It is a more intensive recap and is designed to give more foundation and will cover any class material missed.
The classes are designed for both beginners and improvers (Dancers who have been dancing for less than 1 year and also those that want to improve/hone their technique). Or, an opportunity to learn the alternative role to your norm or learn to switch!
The workshop will be at:
St Matthews Church Hall 11 Summerhill Street, Newcastle NE46EJ and there is carparking nearby. (this is the location of the lessons on a Monday night for Balboa)
Classes will be run by your Local Swing Tyne teachers.
These will be progressive and ensure that everyone attending will benefit.
We will explore fundamental techniques, movement, flow, quality of dance, and variations that will enhance your individual level of dancing.
No dance partner is required as we will rota partners however a balance of leads and followers is needed so there may be a wait list until an opposite role is booked.
The cost of this event will be £15 per person (£7.50 for concessions)
Tickets can only be pre-purchased to ensure that we are within the capacity of the hall. Book via the dance cloud link.
Dancers attending this 1 day workshop should then have all the skills ready for the improvers/intermediate workshop we’re planning for later in the year.
The class format will be 4 hours of classes in total with regular breaks and a lunch break with 30 minutes social dance at the end where you can hone and practice your moves learnt.
