Percussive Dance Improvisation Methods
Sunday 15th September | 10.00am – 11.30am | Aneta and William
We will learn basic moves from a shared repertoire of percussive dance styles from various regions. We will break down a basic step dance improvisation method and build a personal vocabulary of moves to practice. We’ll explore these steps' possibilities and creative potential as expressive and musical tools. All levels are welcome. Please wear clothes you can move in comfortably – track pants or leggings.
