Musicality For West Coast Swing w Erik Novoa

Musicality II for West Coast Swing:
Accents and Breaks

Saturday, July 9, 2022
1-5pm
Norwalk, CT

Get ready to expand your musicality with Part II. Musicality Part II is designed to build upon what you experienced in the the first part of musicality. We'll be exploring how to dance to accents in the music and how to hit the breaks (when the music stops). After these workshops, you'll begin to fully understand how to compose a dance based on its musical structure while using your partnership to acknowledge strong and subtle musical moments. These workshops are specifically designed for West Coast Swing dancers who want to expand their own musical consciousness and develop a greater appreciation for the dance. 

Coming soon:
Musicality III: Lyrical Interpretation
These workshops will build upon the knowledge of the previous sessions, and therefore should be taken in order.
