Aperçu

Professional and emerging dancers are welcome to attend the Brain-Body Connection Professional Development Series hosted by Free Flow Dance Theatre free of charge. If you would like and can afford to donate to support the future of the company please do! We are pleased to host this series of workshops with the support of the Community Initiative Fund.

Workshop: An Exploration of Latin Rhythm in Contact

In the workshop, we will learn the elements that converge between salsa and contact improvisation, as well as the particularities of each genre. We will learn basic patterns of salsa with movements and lifts of contact improv. To do so, we will work on weight, counterweight and the different ways of moving the point of contact (rolling, sliding and pivoting) combined with salsa steps that include basic turns and transitions. The idea is to learn the fundamentals of both modalities that will help us to perform an improvised dance.
