Marcello did a great job leading a workout where we lined up in front of the mirror to work on several walking exercises. These is fundamental for our development as dancers, fortifying and toning our body, while relaxing it so we get used to the different movements involved in the steps and figures. We worked on posture, walk, pivots and dissociation. We well keep doing this in the future, I don’t know about you but I need it a lot. If you manage to memorize these exercises and practice them at home for only ten minutes a day the difference in your dance will be astronomical. So lets keep practicing !
Last Monday was marked with a strong presence of total beginners what presented us with the need to focus on them untile they had elements so they could start moving and have some fun. This was not free as it was only possible at the expense to shorten the practice time. Not too fare for the experienced dancers indeed, who came to work on their skills but hey, they joined right in and voluntarily pared up with the beginners, what a wonderful way to welcome them to the community. Right on ! So big, big, big, thank you to Rita, Kathleen, Gylian and Alfred for such a wonderful attitude.
While well intended we are still new into this, we learn as we go, and we adapt as needed. We have developed already a new format so this does not happen again and both beginners and experienced dancers have plenty of time and space to practice their own. We'll start with this format on Monday 30th., follow up on our CALENDAR
From 6:30 to 7:30 LA PRACTICA will be focused on beginners. Advanced dancers willing to review the basics and help around are welcome to come and help but everything will be oriented to those starting up. – $5.00 at the door including workout. – $10.00 including workout and practice until 10.00 pm.
From 7:30 to 8:00 we'll have our workout for all levels. Beginners will be invited to stay and this is a great oportunity for experienced dancers to join in with these always needed exercises to help refine your style. – $5.00 at the door – Includes practice until 10 pm.
From 8:00 to 10:00 LA PRACTICA will be focused on experienced dancers to explore on their own, share, exchange, discover. While help will always be available this is not a directed practica, our proposition is to self learn through experimentation, trial and error. Music will play continueously in the background. Feel free to ask if you want any music in particular. Beginners can stay and practice or sit and watch. There is a lot to learn just by watching ... – $5.00 at the door
Please feel free to email us your feedback that we allways find valuable. Aloha to all and thank you again !!!
