Further Details & Backstory: Masterful partner dancing is often likened to two people having a brief, intense, meaningful, and connected conversation, but without words.The nuance and subtlety of creating a truly playful conversation is best acheived when both dancers learn the art of "close & quiet" partner connection; this, coupled with an ability to anticipate and to reflect the movement, energy, and phrasing of the music you are dancing to.
These unique classes are designed to give special attention to those invisible aspects of dance which are almost impossible to teach or to learn in large group settings -- namely, the art of the "imperceptable" lead & follow.Taught by an expert teacher, these classes are nigh guarenteed to raise the ante of your dance experience by a good ten-fold!
The small class size allows for maximum instructor feedback and individualized attention.
Pre-registration is required. NO PARTNER NEEDED. Class size is limited and gender balance will be kept even. Priority will be given to persons pre-registering for the 4-class session. (Single class drop-in's will be allowed, but on space available basis only, and you must pre-register)
Classes held in a private studio in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle. Details will be provided upon registration.
