TESO - Technique, Elegance, Style & Originality
Registration is recommended for each workshop and we ask for your help in assuring gender balance - please suggest the workshops you select to a partner of your choosing. Every attempt will be made to enroll equal numbers of leaders and followers.
Workshops are open to everyone - please select workshops at an appropriate level for your ability
Workshop Levels
Level 1: Simplify - connection, fluidity and elegance - keep it simple!
Level 2: Impress - spice up your vocabulary of moves and make your dancing more interesting
Level 3: Dazzle - higher skills involving kicks, spins, dissociation and rhythm
Level 4: Fantasy - sizzling demo delights for stage and exhibition (a little risky - recommended for accomplished dancers)
