Mariachi Tea Dance & Workshop - Scotland!
| June 6, 2010 | ||
| 1:00 pm | to | 10:00 pm |
Starting at 6.00pm, the now infamous Mariachi tea dance is back!! Tea/coffee; biccies and cakes; lovely chilled atmosphere; fantastic dancers and Mariachi Lite tunage…
Mariachi believes in inspiring music… music which begs to be danced to, not music you dance to out of obligation. Within every Mariachi track, there are layers… U can choose to dance to the obvious layers, the rhythms or the more complex subtleties underneath.
Mariachi plays every style from flamenco to rock, going through country, R&B, pop, latin and Rock ‘n’ Roll on the way. A glimpse at the website will give U previous playlists but you can expect to hear Santana, Van Morrison through to Black Eyed Peas… passing Eagles, Daniel Bedingfield and many others on the way…
More genres than usual, more range of tempi than normal… enc
ouraging expression within your dance, some tunes U know, some old friends U haven’t met, yet..
Workshop -
When we are taught to dance… when is it we are actually taught to dance??
We all know the model… we learn moves, we learn to take each part of the move on the beat… we hope our partner “knows” the move and then she’ll “follow”.
But is this dance?? Really dancing??
This workshop is about taking U beyond moves… over 4 hours, Pauline “Cheeks” Roddy and I will be covering lots and lots of technique to enhance the moves U already have…
We will look at techniques such as frame, connection, body leading, pausing, leading and following varying speeds within the same move, etc…
There will also be some for Q&A session… I have found myself in situation X, thought I was going to position Y and ended up here… What can I do to help?? etc, etc, etc…
And so, we go beyond the moves, into real communication and the essence of dance…
Come with us for the afternoon and feel yourself being catapulted into a new realm…
