Ladies Styling
10:30am - 12:30pm
Level: All ladies of all levels welcome.
This is a chance for our ladies to really test their boundaries. This “girls only” opportunity offers you the chance to learn and practise those movements you have only ever watched, while wondering how! The delightful and stylish Jenni Collingwood will be taking us through some pointers, suggestions and advice on what you can do with different parts of your body from your head to your toes. She will enlighten us all as to just how you too can use different movements to add a little bit ‘extra’ to the dance while maintaining the connection with your leading partner. Watch and feel your dancing go from just plain steps to exhilaration every time you are out on that dance floor. Cost is just $30 per lady.
Unleash Your Inner Rhythm Workshop - music as it relates to dance (Music for dancers from a musician's perspective)
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Level: Intermediate. This workshop is suitable for all Intermediate dancers and above.
Ever wondered how that couple made that ‘hit’ in the music, ever been transfixed on the musicality of Advanced dancers? How do they know? What are they hearing that you are not!? This workshop will be presented by guest instructor Trish Wilson - musician/teacher/arts manager, and social dancer (latin/ballroom). With an emphasis on the technical side of music - this workshop aims to help you as a dancer connect with the musical side of your dance to unleash your own inner rhythm and make you rock! What will you come away with? The objectives of the workshop are not necessarily to create utopia! But rather: to provide you with some tools to increase your enjoyment, expand your skill base, increase your understanding of music, dance and the relationships between, and your own personal connection with the music.
Cost is just $30 per person, or $55 for a man and lady booking together.
Waltz Workshop
3:30pm - 5:30pm
Level: All dancers welcome.
Have you been watching dancers float round the floor during suppertime and been too scared to join in! All dancers are welcome to attend this workshop, whether you have been waltzing for years, whether you step to the three Waltz beats and manage to make it around the floor, or whether you have never tried but always wanted to. Guest instructors Phillip Porter and his wife Keri, will be stepping us through the Waltz, so that you too can do laps of the hall on a Friday night at suppertime!
Keri and Phillip have been dancing together for 18 years. They are both students of The Studio in Wellington and returned last year after spending 10 years in England learning and competing. They are now teaching at The Studio and are enjoying imparting what they have learned over time to other students of dance.
Cost is just $30 per person, or $55 for a man and lady booking together.
