Each session focuses on challenging material, including complex sequences, changes of dynamics, musical phrasing, and refined partner communication.
We work on enhancing body control, balance, and precision, while encouraging creativity and expression through improvisation. The emphasis is not only on the steps, but on how they are executed—with clarity, elegance, and musical sensitivity.
Expect a thoughtful and structured approach to more intricate movements, with attention to posture, axis, embrace, and the quality of interaction between partners. This class builds on strong foundational skills and encourages dancers to move beyond mechanics into expressive, confident dancing.
