Understanding where movement comes from and how it influences your partner is essential to being a good leader or follower. This workshop is developed using three aspects to create a great dance: micro-rhythms, connection, and starter steps. This is a foundational aspect of West Coast Swing which can help any dancer improve.

Schedule:
6:00-9:30pm - Micro-Rythms, Connection, and Starter Steps
This workshop intensive will be segmented into three parts (with short breaks in between each part):
Micro-Rhythms: This will explore how we use subtle movement to create a bond with our partner. That bond helps leaders and followers attach themselves in a way that seems "telepathic," which then creates the social solidarity necessary for good connection.
Connections: This section will expand on the idea of micro-rhythms to the development of lead-follow connection and application of movement.
Starter Steps: This will utilize the knowledge of micro-rhythms and connection to create various starter steps.
9:30-11:00pm - West Coast Swing Dance
