Bill Borgida Workshop Weekend

Ottawa, ON

"Blues dancing, the art of the slow groove" (all levels)
Learn to feel the rhythm or "pulse" inherent in Blues music and to use
your body to emphasize this rhythm . It will cover basic steps, lead
follow skills, and some basic syncopations, turns, and dips so you can
dance to a wide variety of blues music. Its also an excellent way to
work on partner connection, balance, posture and musicality.
"Blues & Lindy - Making the Connection" (all levels)
This class will show numerous examples of how Blues gives us the
lead/follow tools to add musical elements to our Lindy Hop vocabulary.
"Put the Swing in the Swing Out" /"Smoothing Out The Basics" / "Tune Up The Basics" (all levels)
(pre-req: knowledge of the Swingout, lindy circle)
This class will focus on making the Swingout look and feel good.
This is what really makes the dance work! Your dancing is only as good as your
basics. Advanced dancers never stop working on theirs.
"Keepin the Groove" - Dancing with Momentum (intermediate)
Lindy Hop is not about moves, it's about movement. Learn the art of
leading and following with momentum and flow.
Teacher Training Intensive 2.5 Hours
Bill has been teaching Lindy Hop for 11+ years.
In this forum he will offer you all their best tips and teaching techniques for teaching the fundamental principles of Lindy Hop and beyond.
They will also share the philosophy behind their success as teachers.
There will also be opportunities to critique and share each others teaching methods and talk about issues affecting your dance community.
"Spotlight On The Student" - intermediate and above (class size
limited depending on time allotted). 30 Students = 2.5 hours
Each student will get 5-7 min. of critique and praise in a small group
setting (in front of peers). Each person will go away with 2 or 3
personal improvements to work on and learn from the discussions about
their peers' dancing. It's like attending 15 private lessons, and
getting one too! Master class -- for the top dancers in the community.
The pace will be quicker..the material more challenging.
