Sunday Feb 24 Blues dancing workshops with Shawn & Natalya - Sydney NSW
By Chris Kearns and Samantha Szetu
https://www.facebook.com/events/472069066182650/?ref=3
Some of you may have attended a blues dancing workshop in Sydney in Feb 2012 with Paul Mandel (Boston, USA) teaching. The teacher that Paul learnt from is Shawn Hershey, who is coming to Sydney with his partner, Natalya Gomez (both from USA) and they have kindly agreed to teach 3 blues dancing workshops while they are here. Woohoo!
We had 20+ couples in each of the 3 workshops in 2012 which was a great response. There is obviously a lot of demand for learning blues dancing in Sydney as evidenced by the great attendance to Paul's workshops, the monthly Juke Joint and the blues room staged at the semi-regular Speakeasy sessions.
Each workshop will be 1.25 hours long with a 15 minute social dancing break between each to practice what you've just learnt. The workshops will be followed by 3 hours of social dancing.
When: Sun 24th Feb 2013
Where: Paddington RSL Club, 220-232 Oxford St, Paddington
3 Workshops (descriptions coming soon):
* 1-2:15pm - Fundamentals
* 2:30-3:45pm - Fundamentals/Intermediate
* 4pm-5:15pm - Intermediate+
These workshops are also geared towards Lindy Hop dancers with no blues dancing experience or anyone looking to further develop their blues dancing skills. Come to all 3 workshops to really get your blues dancing groove on!
* 5:15-8pm - Social blues dancing (stay tuned for DJ announcements)
Costs
- $20 for a single workshop
- $35 for two workshops
- $50 for three workshops
Payment
Payment will be via cash on the door on the day only.

City: Utrecht, Netherlands
Dances: Blues
Both Johnny and Ksenia are professional dancers across many genres and they use this unique perspective to teach Swing dancing through a combination of technical exercises and dance imagery, so that students take away tools for dancing instead of steps. The workshop will be built upon a very deep connection with the partner and focus strongly on musicality. They will start with an authentic look at jazz steps, move into practicing connection with the partner and end with a set of figures which translate easily to the social floor.
These are two very professional teachers. Johnny has been developing curriculum for dance academies around Europe and is known for his light handed didactic. He is extremely active as a performer and choreographer and teaches because he loves it. Ksenia has won many titles for her beautiful authentic Jazz and blues dancing. Together they share the class as smoothly as they dance, not explaining too much, giving students plenty of space to acquire the material for themselves.

Dances: Blues, Fusion
After Lukes amazing workshop in Malmö we immediately asked him cancel his tickets home and spend a weekend with the rapidly growing Danish Blues community. Luke gladly agreed to come and dance with us!
Luke will spend four hours dancing with us and we asked him specifically to "go out on a limb" and do something different and special with us. He's taken the challenge and will fly in to dance with us for three days and party with us for three nights.
"As a Dancer my goal is to make the person I’m dancing with want to dance with me again and again", Luke Weismann.
The first two hours of the workshop will be Lukes fantastic break down of moves which really would spark the creativity of even the best dancers. Then he'll go into musicality and finally he'll go out on a limb... Then we'll social dance a bit before we go party all night at Blues Club.

House Party
Dance the Blues Away
7/13/2013
Dances: Blues, Other
On July 13th, blues dancers and their friends all over the world will come together to celebrate the power of dance and raise money for a great cause. House parties in many different cities happening simultaneously will offer relaxed and open environments for music, dancing, and sharing. The money raised will go toward Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) research for individuals living with mood and anxiety disorders.
The medical community is increasingly taking note of what social dancers have known for years: that dance reduces stress, boosts confidence, and promotes happiness. Julia Dillard, a dance therapist and blues social dancer in Colorado Springs, said about the power of DMT: "My clinical internship work was with acute inpatient psychiatric clients with dual diagnosis or mood/anxiety disorders... It was pretty common for clients to say things like 'I felt happy for the first time in months!' or 'I forgot I could enjoy my life without drugs' after dance therapy sessions." There have been some enormous strides in DMT research, but there is still a long way to go.
As a participant of Dance the Blues Away, you have the opportunity to get sponsors, attend your local DtBA party, and bring your friends (non-dancers included) to experience an all-nighter celebrating joy, happiness, and well-being through dance!

7/15/2013
City: East of Sacramento, CA
Dances: Blues, Fusion
The 2013 Recess Massive (UBR/LVBR), while an annual event, this year will be a first in many ways. This July we will gather 20 minutes east of Grass Valley, California, where we have found a spectacular 325+ acre property of wooded mountainside in the foothills of the Sierras with panoramic views of the thousands of acres of wooded wilderness that surround us. It will be a first not only because we have deliberately chosen a venue site where we will be building and bringing in everything: our own dance venues, off grid kitchens, water storage facilities, power grid, cuddle chill zones, and thousands of square feet of mobile dance floors. But this year the event will also be a week long, running Monday to Monday (July 15th to 22nd). This already incredible setting accompanying the hallmark Recess boundary-pushing Alt, Fusion, and Blues DJs and live acts bumping until sunrise, mind-blowing skill-share workshops running in the daytimes, inspiring (and prized!) gender-f*ck and Alt competitions, and a radically inclusive ethic that can't help but inspire the community that we all deserve.

Balboa For Blues Dancers
11/9/2013
City: Boston, MA
Dances: Blues, Balboa
Balboa for Blues Dancers* brings together David Rehm, one of the world's top Balboa instructors, and Mike "the Girl" Legenthal, one of the world's top Blues instructors (who also loves Balboa), for a two-day series of workshops in Boston bridging the divide between these two scenes -- a chasm not so wide as you might think.
This workshop requires no prior knowledge of Balboa (or technically Blues for that matter), and will present both the basic figures and connection principles from the ground up, albeit at a faster pace geared for those with some dance experience and body awareness (as opposed to a 'beginner class'). Lindy Hoppers and existing Balboa dancers (even those who do not dance Blues) who are interested in revisiting core technique are also welcome and encouraged to participate.

Weekend Blues Workshop with Barry

City: Berlin
Dances: Blues, Lindy, Fusion, Tango, Solo Jazz
WBWB is an intensive 7 hours Blues Weekend Workshop 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 weekend, this is the workshop for you.
Barry "The Man" Douglas:
It is hard to describe Barry. After all of his dancing experience from childhood onwards, his successes and teaching in over 24 countries some say he is the legend, others describes his as the ambassador of the Blues, others as just TheMan. He is really "The Man" of Blues and it would be a pity to miss this great dance legend while he is in Berlin.
Even before starting his formal training, at the age of 12, Barry was learning Blues standing on his grandfather's feet and listening to his grandpa's stories of the “Black Bottom”, the “Dirty Boogie” and the party days of Juke Joints and Speak Easies! His fascination with these stories and others about Blues dancing and its relationship to slavery is what inspired him to start his long and joyous journey in the world of professional dancing. Although he is certified in 16 different dances and has won multiple state and national championships, he still retains his street roots and his fascination with the Blues.
His smooth, authentic style and method of teaching will provide you with all the little technical details you need to make your dancing smoother and more fluid.

City: San Francisco, CA
Dances: Blues, Fusion
Vision Statement: At the Gender Bender Recess we are working to break down the conventional assumptions that negatively define our roles within the community based on our genders, our bodies, our sexual orientations, and our physical sex.
Curriculum Overview : The weekend will include the following three types of workshops.
Dance Workshops: Classes covering a variety of topics including: learning your non-dominant role, dancing switch, gender neutral dancing, role neutral dancing, and classes addressing how gender is expressed by or projected onto movement.
Activist Workshops: Interactive workshops and discussions addressing larger cultural and community issues such as gender assumptions, homophobia, sexism, consent, and the sexualization of dance.
Facilitated Discussions: Focused conversations designed to create constructive and safe spaces to share personal experiences, discuss issues we see in our community, and construct action plans to bring home after the event.
The curriculum will be scheduled so that participants can shape the focus of their weekend in whichever way they prefer. Come and spend an entire intensive weekend working on your dancing and your non-dominant role. Come and spend an intensive weekend talking about and workshopping some of the hardest hitting gender and oppression issues in the community. Or take a combination of activist and dance centered classes. One of our largest goals in this event is to create new bridges between dancer allies who are new to the activist scene and long time activists whose lens can help us create the community we all deserve.

Evin and Noah Galang have been teaching Swing Era dances since 1998 and combine solid technique & connection with highly creative interpretation and a sense of humor. Often referred to as "the funny one and the mysterious one," the duo have had to live life in limbo, wondering which one was which. Meanwhile, their teaching style remains easy to understand and they seek to both challenge and encourage their students to achieve new levels in their own dancing. Teaching internationally since 2001 Evin considers herself truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work in a variety of dance and cultural communities to help preserve and progress the dance. As a lifelong martial arts practitioner and sometimes teacher, Noah is happy to be teaching people not to try to destroy each other. Evin and Noah also adore working with their students back home where they run the premier Atlanta lindy hop instruction and performance company Down South Swing.

The classes on Saturday will address basic material and Sunday will build from that.
If you are a beginner you are still encouraged to come on Sunday, you might be able to flow into the second day's material just fine, because the instructors are continuing to hold the same values from day one to day two.
If you are a more advanced dancer the first day will be great to work on your basics!

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.

The facility offers beautiful dance floors with scenic views indoors and outdoors which will inspire you as you are practicing.

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.

Solo Jazz and partnered content
Partnering techniques and tips
Musicality

Week 1: SOCIAL TRACK
The social track is designed for students who enjoy moving to blues music wherever it’s played, be it in a festival, a bar, or even on a street corner to busking musicians. Instructors will be offering common base movements for students to explore in their own bodies and with a partner. Students will be exposed to a variety of styles of blues played in a band’s set or jam session. Supported by live music, students will discover the movements in their body which fit the music.
UPDATE: COMPETITION & PERFORMANCE track was postponed to another camp in favor of a second social track! In addition to the live music and partnered blues curriculum above there will be elective classes about scene building and teaching!

African Roots & Blues Dance
DanceMode teaches African Roots and traditional Blues and Jazz movement offering immersive camps for students in all levels. This year we are offering camps the week before Berlin Blues Explosion and the week afterward. The first week emphasizes styles of Blues music and dance in two different tracks: Social and Competition & Performance. The second week emphasizes personal experience and expression in the Solo and Meditative tracks.
Our camps feature lead trainers with embodied expression of the material being presented, as well as a cohesive curriculum prepared by a dedicated team. The complementary themed tracks allows students to experience a diverse breadth of topics if they choose to attend both weeks. By customizing their camp across two weeks students are able to cultivate the aspects they would like to develop, for example Performance (Week 1) – African Roots (BBE) – Solo (Week 2), or Performance (Week 1) – Social (BBE) – Meditative (Week 2), etc. Students who register for two weeks of camp receive a 100€ discount.
Body / Mind Focus
All tracks incorporate body awareness and physical training. Developing the body is integral to learning dance, and each day will have significant time dedicated to improving body function.
You will be practicing various body/mind modalities in each track. We use the breath, grounding, and relaxation exercises for discovering your authentic movement in a safe and supportive environment.
All DanceMode trainers have a certification or degree in one or more physical training modality. These have to do with anatomy, mind/body, health, learning, and movement education. DanceMode trainers study under the top movement educators in the world, such as Eric Franklin, Barry Douglas, Norma Claire, Ilchi Lee, and a variety of medical Qi Gong trainers.

Week 2:
SOLO TRACK
Solo dancing can be considered as one of our original forms of self-expression. In this track students will be working on technical skills to express and convey their thoughts and feelings through dance. A variety of traditional Jazz, Blues, and African movement will be provided to use as a base vocabulary for students to express themselves. From these movements, instructors will lead exercises to help students find the unique movements which are honest to their own bodies.
MEDITATIVE TRACK
Blues dancers are known for the late night 4am sway to the pulse. It is in that magical zone that the thoughts cease and the body finds its own way to move to the beat. But what is it that is happening in that space where the spirit moves? This track offers a guided journey for students to go back to that place. Through regular rhythms, meditative movements, in both solo and partnership, we will go, explore, and sift through that space together.

Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance and music originating in Angola. It is a derivative of traditional Angolan semba with zouk and compas music from the French Caribbean Islands. On this basis, Kizomba music emerged as a more modern music genre with a sensual touch mixed with African rhythm. Kizomba music is characterised by a slower and usually very romantic rhythm, sung generally in Portuguese It is a truly awesome dance with Tango-like connection and sexy Latin hips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOR01MGW2ak
