Nightclub Freestyle Dancing Workshop
Sun. June 29, 6-7 pm, before the Wedding
Dance Workshop. Roslindale Studio, (not W.R. School of Dance;)
directions will be emailed to you upon registration.
Instructor Liz Nania. If you feel really awkward when
faced with a dance opportunity in a club, party, or social event,
you can find relief in this one-hour workshop in club dancing.
Freestyle dancing is the informal, popular party dance where you're
not touching your partner, just casually boogying freely with
one person or a group-- (or not so freely, if you're currently
feeling a little dorky!) You'll learn the simplest basics of shifting
weight, moving with the music, and learn what you can do with
your feet and arms. After this one-hour workshop, you'll have
the skills to finally break the ice and get out there and party,
and you'll know you look just fine. You won't be imitating early
Michael Jackson or memorizing any patterns; you'll learn some
simple, natural movements where you can blend in with the dancing
crowd, lose some inhibitions, feel relaxed, and have a great time.
You're encouraged to bring a CD or iPod with a couple of your
favorite tunes, (since one of the secrets to good freestyle dancing
is liking the music,) or just enjoy some mainstream party music
we provide. No partner or experience neccesary. $20 per person.
Dance Practice Party:
Mon. Apr. 28, 8-10 pm, WR School
of Dance, $8 per person; free mini salsa lesson and belly dance
