Ari Levitt returns to Portland and will be doing a workshop exploring forms of swing and blues fusion. Swing dancing has been and will continue to be one of the core elements of partner dancing. It allows for creative interpretations and brings life to the music. You will learn both new moves and patterns and a new way of listening to and moving to the swing music we play.
There will be 3 afternoon sessions:
1. Fusion Swing & The Playful Art of Conversational Dance
2. INTRO TO LAMINU: dance style related to balboa but done to slow swing and foxtrot ballads
3. Swing Fusion & The Playful Art of Conversational Dance
