Ladies Styling Workshop

Saturday August 2, 2008 

Kanopy Dance Studio, 341 State Street,Madison

3 PM: Yoga Dance Stretch with Rachel DeSmidt

   This class focuses on tuning in to your core and learning how to balance your movements with your breath so that you can move more freely on the dance floor.  This yoga stretch series is designed especially for dancers to teach you how to open areas of your body in order to move in a more fluid, comfortable way.  The instructor will use Salsa music to lead the class.  No yoga mat required, but feel free to bring one! 

INSTRUCTOR BIO: 
After earning her  Industrial Design degree and discovering her love for yoga at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design Rachel returned to her home town of Madison where she began dancing Salsa and Mambo.   She has since performed with Dando Mambo at congresses in San Francisco and Dallas and numerous local events.  She has also began teaching her own yoga class once a week and looks forward to getting her certification this fall.

 

4 PM: Ladies Salsa Styling with Hallie Savage

   In this Salsa workshop focused on ladies styling, you will move through a progression of warm-up exercises, patterns for arm movement, and footwork sequences.  The instructor will break down movements in a way that will allow your body to move with grace, style and power.
 
Learn delicate hand, arm and shoulder movements, sexy hip-flicks, head rolls, body isolations and elegant spins that will give you the strong foundation you need for dancing while at the same time understand how you can use your own strengths as a dancer to get noticed and have fun on the dance floor!
 
Learn to look unique!
 
This workshop is designed to work from the basics on up.  All levels are encouraged to attend, and materials will be modified to challenge each dancer at her current level.
