Two To Tango Calendar Oregon Coast and Willamette Valley Events 1 September 2009, Tuesday Dance Move Aerobics Time: 7:00pm - 7:30pm Location: Dance! and All That Jazz! Come out and get your heart rate up at the same time learning footwork and arm styling for many of the ballroom/latin/swing dances. I will be using actual dance music to choreograph short bits of foot and body work from the ballroom/latin/and swing dances. Learn the movements in a non stress, fun atmosphere while getting a bit of aerobic exercise. Class will be a continuous 1/2 hour of dancing with warm-up and cool-down time. Dancers will follow along with no technical talk, just following the teacher. This gives dancers a chance to use the visual/response/creative sides of the brain rather than the analytical side. Please bring a sweat rag/towel and a bottle of water with you. Dress in light clothing. Wear dance shoes or shoes that do not stick to the floor. Dance patterns will remain the same for a month to let dancers have a chance to master them, and then will vary from month to month to include most of the dances I teach. I'm hoping dancers will use this as an addendum to the regular classes to help speed learning of new pattern based on basic body actions and allow them to express their own personalities to the music in a non partner setting. I will have an health waver for everyone to sign for this class. Please be aware of any health issues that might constrain you from taking this class. Please feel free to vary your intensity in class to allow for any health issues you might have. Cost is $3/person walk-in or $1/class when paid monthly with following classes. Tango Choreography Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm Location: Dance! and All That Jazz! I will be teaching a set piece of choregraphy to a specific song each month or every two months. This allows the dancer to learn a dance with musicality and projection to an audience as well as just learning dance patterns and technique. It gives the artistic side of the dancer a chance to come out and gives the leader a chance to put patterns together in new ways that can then be used on the social dance floor. The first piece will be American Tango set to Por Una Cabeza - based on the True Lies Tango. I would like to perform some of these dances at venues during the year, but it is not a prerequisite to taking the class. Just come on out and have fun. Cost is $35/person/month (5 weeks) or $9/person walk-in (not recommended for this class if you have to skip any weeks) Intermediate Foxtrot/Waltz Time: 8:30pm - 9:30pm Location: Dance! and All That Jazz! Dancers should be very comfortable with basic waltz and social foxtrot to take this class. We will work on several patterns that occur in both dances and how they differ in style and feel in the dances. We will also work on adding swing and sway to our dancing to make it more powerful and more controllable. Cost is $35/month/person (5 weeks) or $9/person walk-in For questions regarding this calendar, contact: Bonnie Prater Licensed To: Bonnie Prater
