“Music For
Dancers” master class
At
“The Granada”,
Alhambra,
CA
"Music for Dancers" gives you a
deeper connection and a new perspective on the music. Enhance your dancing by
mastering the structure, timing and feeling of the music. Designed for dancers,
taught by a master musician.
Feel the music, and know it
too!
This months focus is on “Finding
One” and tuning your ears to hear more layers in the music, giving you more
choices in your dancing. (You can’t dance to music you’re not
hearing.)
Hear things you've never heard in the music, and learn
structured approaches to enhancing your existing musicality.
This
90-minute class provides the foundation for taking your dancing to another
level.
All levels: Recommended for Intermediate/Advanced dancers, or
newer dancers who want to move faster than others. We do NOT dance in this
class.
Excellent for partner dancers AND dancers who
freestyle.
Music is music, and the principles in this workshop apply to
swing, salsa, hip-hop, R&B, swing, jazz and almost any other dance
music.
The example music covers a wide range of styles, from hip-hop,
R&B, salsa, latin-jazz and even a heavy metal tune. Once you hear the
principles, you can apply them to YOUR music, no matter which style.
I
have over 80 tunes in my class play list (we never get to all of them), each
included because they clearly illustrate a principle or two.
Questions:
Call Don @ 818.903.0016
Please feel free to invite other dancers,
including swing, salsa, hip-hop and jazz/modern dancers. Anybody who wants to
dance to the music is welcomed.
Master classes are usually $25 at the
Granada, but I
worked with “The Granada” and this special master class is only
$20.
