City: Ferme Les Costes, 07160 Nonieres, France
Dances: Blues

MTBC is an intensive dance experience designed to enhance and improve your overall movement application. It will help you take the technical information and transform it into movement application. So if you want to geek out on Blues, improve your body awareness and see improvement in the way you move in just one week this is the camp for you. This camp is geared toward students that have taken a training with us before or that have attended a number of our workshops. Attendees can also invite dancers they feel will enjoy this type of immersive dance experience. (Invitees should have at least 2 years of dance experience)

Concept of our classes and teachers:

The class schedule will be designed by our teaching team so that each class builds on the previous one for better conceptual learning. There will be 4 to 5 hours of classes everyday with plenty of time to practice. Our Blues camp will feature small classes giving you greater contact with the teachers allowing you get intensive feedback to improve your dancing skills. The facility offers beautiful dance floors with scenic views indoors and outdoors which will inspire you as you are practicing.
Unfortunately this camp is only being offered to intermediate and + levels and can be offered to only 40 students so that we can really concentrate on improving dance skills and techniques.

The Fun Part:

There will be Live Blues on Friday, August 1st, supplied by Dan Nash and social dancing every night so that you won't want to go to bed.

Thanks to Marjorie the facility will offer free WI-FI to keep you connected with the outside world, three delicious home made dishes per day and a very nice swimming pool to relax and refresh yourselves. All surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas that are breathtaking!

We will also have a Market day for a bit if fun and we will close the camp with a Blues filled picnic giving us the opportunity to decompress as a group.

As you can see, the camp is a great opportunity for you to combine a very nice holiday in the mountains of France with great dance training from some of the best teachers in the world of Blues.

Class topics will include:

Solo Jazz and partnered content
Partnering techniques and tips
Musicality
Performance
Body Awareness and conditioning
Group games and activities to stimulate perceptual awareness
Tasters to sample other styles of dance
Blues History
Ballroom Blues and more
