A event held at The Jam Jar on Saturday 26th November. The event starts at 10:00.
A one day workshop exploring and developing the Swedish polska with Lucy & Ella from the Third Beat Dance Collective: 10am - 4pm
Cost: £40
Email [email protected] to reserve a place - we'll send you details of how to pay. If money is a problem, please get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
The course is aimed at dancers of all abilities - whether you are a seasoned polska dancer or a complete beginner - this course will offer the opportunity for everyone to develop their dancing ability.
We will work together as a group to deconstruct the polska and look at the elements that make up the dance, looking at both the leading and following roles, posture, hold, balance, relationship to the music and examining other parts of specific technique.
Everyone involved in the course will be dancing with all other participants and also learning both roles in the dance (no partner required). The course will be taught by Ella Sprung and Lucy Huzzard, both of whom have completed the year-long folk dance diploma course at the Eric Sahlström Institute in Sweden.
You will need shoes appropriate for Swedish dance (preferably leather or other smooth soled shoes - ask us if you have any questions).
