This is your next opportunity to join us in the Spring, for what has become - according to many of you - one of the highlights of the year in your dance calendar! Now a three-roomed event with added glitz and glamour, where everyone steps up to the mark, and dresses up to the nines!

You can enjoy the buzz of the elegant Main Hall with a more up-tempo feel to it, playing all of your favourite tracks, old and new, or party in the Motown & Soul Room… or savour the flavour of the Synergy Room where you will be treated to an evening of truly inspirational music, giving you ample opportunity for musical expression and interpretation.

Not only do we have Patricia with her superb Synergy set, (Blues, Latin, R&B…) but, travelling all the way down from Scotland, we have…

CJ, well known for his “Mariarchi”, playing his wonderful “Mariarchi Lite”,

plus… we have Revdrop with his delicious “Passion” piano and sax music!

So, what more could you ask for? Whether you choose to let your hair down and ‘boogie’ the night away, or you relish a real challenge in the Synergy Room, we have it all… 6 hours of pure bliss!

No t-shirts, sleeveless vests, jeans, combats, or more ‘casual’ attire should be worn for the duration of this event.

Passion of Mariachi Workshops - Sunday

April 4, 2010
1:00 pmto5:00 pm

Aerials with Frank Blueshoes
An aerial is a move where both of one of the partner’s feet leave the floor at the same time. Taken by Frank “Blueshoes” this workshop will cover aerials and “big” moves. With the emphasis on safety and style you will be shown how to perform several different aerials and big moves. Over four hours it will be demonstrated how these moves are about technique and not strength, and how they can be integrated into your dancing. The appropriate circumstances in which to perform aerials will also be covered. Due to the nature of the moves the workshop will feature one on one tuition where necessary.

This workshop is aimed at the more adventurous dancer wanting to try out something more complicated than they would usually encounter. Please note that due to the physical nature of the tuition participants must be fit and uninjured. This will be a fixed partner workhop.

Or

Blues with CJ & Yliander
Blues is a dance form that can be intimidating to some. Beautifully expressive, a combination of musicality and attitude, connection and stillness… Blues dancing is nowhere near as difficult as it looks. This workshop dispels some of the myths, makes blues more accessible, gives emergency blues moves and takes your Blues forward by leaps and bounds. Aimed at those not yet comfortable with Blues or those wanting to take their first steps into this world, it will give techniques, tips and confidence by the bucketful…

Workshops run 1-5pm and will be at the Masonic Hall & Gothenburg Hotel.

Dip, Drops & Flashy Moves!! with Frank “Blueshoes”

Taught by Frank “Blueshoes”, a veteran dancer and competition winner, this workshop is designed to look at dips and drops in a new light. Over four hours the workshop will cover in depth how to do dips and drops safely and stylishly, show you new ways of getting into the moves and demonstrate how to make your drops smoother and more polished.

Or

Expression Toybox with CJ & Yliander

Firstly, this workshop is designed to get you listening, really listening to music so as to hit the breaks, phrase endings, etc: even in songs you have never heard before. With these new skills, a whole world of expression is open to you. But, then what?!?!? Well, CJ and Yliander will take you through options, variations, movements and adornments to help you mark these lush moments in the music, making the most of your new found listening skills…

We proudly present The Passion of Mariachi: Resurrecting Expressive Dancing!!!!

Come join us for a weekend of Easter Mayhem which sees a selection of the most prominent weekender DJ’s descending on Fife.

On Saturday 3rd April we have 4.5 hours of Full Phat Mariachi with CJ and guest DJ Blueshoes.

Easter Sunday brings a full 6 hours of Mariachi Blues and “Passion” the expressive piano and sax music of Revdrop.

Join us for a weekend of Easter Mayhem which is going to include Full Phat Mariachi on Saturday 3rd April with special guest DJ Blueshoes and an extended 6hr(!) Sunday Tea Dance (4th April) with yet another guest DJ the divine Revdrop. In addition to all that decedent musical goodness there will be workshops Saturday & Sunday.

Saturday is the full Bhuna!! Yep, four hours of Full Phat Mariachi!! Guest DJ Blueshoes and CJ will be taking turns to take you on a fantastic journey… through all genres, an enormous range of tempi, styles and dynamics and of course the On-The-Hour-Experimental-Track… these experienced DJs will guide you, lead you and yet follow you as we dance to a wide range of guitar music just begging to be danced to. Great dancers, great hall, great music…

For six whole hours at the Sunday Tea Dance you will be enveloped, caressed, moved by the intensity, the sensuality and the pure dancability of what is to come… Intense, rich Mariachi Blues, every track a sumptuous treat to all your senses. CJ will play guitar orientated blues whilst Revdrop will massage your very sensibility with his “Passion”… Expressive music featuring piano and/or sax!! Tea/coffee/cakes and Easter treats too!!

Both Blueshoes and Revdrop are respected dancers in their own right. Both have also taught around England as well as made their name at national weekenders. Blueshoes has a reputation as a DJ with taste who plays a wide variety of tunes… He has a real passion for blues and will bring a nice contrast to Mariachi. Revdrop has taken his “Passion” around the country and it has proven very successful. Like Mariachi, “Passion” is all about expressive music, pushing dancers and insiring them to new heights on the dance floor. At previous events, Mariachi and “Passion” have worked very well together, complementing each other and enhancing the evening as a whole.

All this and…Saturday and Sunday workshops too…
