What's it all about?

Teaching techniques and methods passed down to me by master teachers of Vogue and central African dance, and what I’ve learned from years of go-go dancing in the nightclubs of London, NYC and Amsterdam are at the core of this class. Dancefloor 101: Elements of Posture and Play is about learning a few basic principals about moving on a dancefloor in a recreational context. Geared towards non-professionals the workshop will include a warm up and various exercises that focus on posture rhythm and having fun. My approach is a balance between a practice of disseminating information versus providing a context for workshop participants to share and polish their own skills and interests as movers.
