Musicality For West Coast Swing w Erik Novoa

Musicality Part I
for West Coast Swing

Saturday, October 20, 2018

Get ready for one of the most important workshops a dancer can ever take - Musicality!!

How can one dance to music without understanding music itself? These workshops are essential for any dancer of any dance form. We will go through the basic components of music, rhythms, stratification of hearing different aspects, and dynamics in the first sections. Our study and breakdown of composition will help connect your dancing to the song that is played. And the 2-beat extension will be illustrated as the easy way to phrase your dance to a song, any song.

After these workshops, you'll never hear music the same way again and you'll be able to understand musical aspects that will begin to improve the way you dance.These workshops are essential for the beginner through advanced dancer. It is impossible to become a better dancer if you don't understand music. Any dance you do...every dance you do will improve proportional to your understanding of music. This is the class for you.
