8:15-10pm FACILITATED DJ'd PRACTICE.
ATTENDANCE for ENTIRE SESSION IS REQUIRED.More Skill than at Dance-Party events, more Open Time than in Classes. Partners change every 2 songs. Teacher/Facilitators are on hand to answer questions/sidecoach. Practice traffic flow is outer ring Tango line-of-dance and Middle Floor Fusion area-dance for spatial navigation practice, and styles of roletrades mid-song. Practice Container is gender neutral, LGBT-inclusive, encourages cis men's catchup Follow skills and cis women's catchup Lead skills. In each duet both dancers work on all 3 skills: Follow, Lead, Roletrades. Music is mix of Electronic Music that supports Fusion, Blues and Tango dancing: AltPop, R&B, ElectroTango, TripHop, Trap. XXXXThis team-oriented training environment encourages formation of 4-Person Practice Teams. In each SongSet, partners can opt to dance Both-Role: one song each in Lead and Follow, or dance Switch: continuously inviting and receiving roletrades back & forth (pass, steal & place) throughout both songs. Verbally ask partners to dance (Fusion style) OR practice your cabaceo (Tango’s Look & Nod) to change partners.Last week Monthly starts w/ Brief Show & Tell: Practice Partners show off Switch Rolestrades & Styling so we all exchange the wins of our Switch Dancing evolution. Use this Weekly Facilitated Practice to even out your 3 Skillsets in this friendly casual setting so you can Switch dance like a badass at those bigger events.
