JEREMY HALE WORKSHOPS

JEREMY HALE WORKSHOPS
Sunday September 1, 2019 at Polearity
6-9pm Workshops, 9-11p Social

International instructor Jeremy Hale focuses on zouk’s foundational tenets of connecting and listening to ourselves and our partners, physically and energetically. Workshops will build on safety, respect, exploration, curiosity, creativity, efficiency, comfort, cooperation, and community.

6:00-7:30p Axes of Motion + Vacuums & Barriers - Explore the different possible directions of movement within the body and through space. Then, focus on the lead/follow relationship and how, as a leader, to invite the follower along a certain path without any force or effort, and how, as a follower, to seek the pathways offered by the leader and move effortlessly along that path.

7:30-9p The Calm Before the Boom - Become a lead/follow whisperer! Roll into a quiet frame. Communicate directly and clearly with our partner's center of gravity. Guide the direction of travel in space with confidence. Use the perfect lull before we take a step: the calm before the boom!

9-11p Social with DJ Javi & DJ Nico Suave Each week we have a different sake available for tasting, though we do ask that dancers stay sober when dancing. Dancers often bring light pupu to share :) Our classes and social are in a welcoming dance studio in Chinatown, with a dedicated parking lot, ample mirrors, and the flattest zouk dancefloor in town! Zouk is a dance for everyone, of all ages and bodies and sexualities. Our classes and party are family-friendly--children are welcome to stay in the lounge or take classes.
