Practical Musicality workshop with Jodi & Joel
Event description
One of the best moments in a dance is the rush you get when you and your partner hit a move that perfectly matches the music. Joel and Jodi love playing with musicality and finding new and fun ways to respond to moments in songs. In this workshop, Jodi and Joel will share the toolkit of musical moves (for both leads and follows!) that they love to use - including different breaks, slow-downs, and how to change up some classic moves. Everything you need for leads and follows to match music on the fly and look amazing!
Who is this workshop for? To get the most out of the workshop, it is strongly suggested that attendees be comfortable with 8-beat swing outs.
