Basic Swing, Sway & Rhythm 201
Instructor:
LaQianya Huynh
Objective:
Improve basic dance skills, burn calories and have a wonderful time.
Course Requirements:
Enter this class with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and socialize with other dancers. If you do not have dance shoes, bring comfortable shoes. You can use any type of ballroom dance shoes; jazz, leather sole or shoes with suede soles.
Rationale:
Dancing should be fun and carefree. I am a passionate dancer, for me living does not exist without rhythm or moving one’s body. However, in terms of social dancing, often times new dancers get frustrated and stop dancing for various reasons. With that in mind, it's time to offer non dancers and the occasional dancer a welcoming, fun, and creative format to learning the basic steps, rhythm patterns and subtle non-verbal communication skills needed dance confidently.
Outcomes:
Throughout this course students will learn basic open and closed hold, throw out, link open to close positions, left and right under arm turns and basic 6 count and 8 count patterns.
Also, leaders will learn to find rhythm to match the music in double or triple beats.
Basically you will build on non-verbal connections through cues and transferring body weight. Students will learn to dance safely with their partners.
If students have a disability or injury, they will learn techniques to dance safely with others.
