A flutter is a wonderful accent to your dance repertoire and is sure to add the ’wow’ factor to your dance. We will break down: a) how to start a flutter, b) which muscles are used and how to find them, c) upper abdominal flutters and lower abdominal flutters, d) layering the flutter - yes this can be done! e) You will also learn techniques you can do anytime and anywhere to build the strength and control needed to master this wonderful move. f) And then… we will drill, and put this all together with undulations and shimmies. Don’t be surprised if this becomes your favourite move

    Dec 10 - Caliente! - Fusing with Flamenco and Tango: Quick spins/turns, body extensions and floreos. We will work through all these and more to bring the heat of Flamenco and the passion of Tango to your fusion dance. This week is not only about technique but attitude.
    Dec 17 - Building Your Drama: In this final class we will work as individuals to build our own dance. We'll talk about techniques to draw in the audience and how to build your 'story' with song, movement and costume. Bring any music, costuming or ideas that you are currently working on.
