What amazing things do you have planned?
Sunday January 25th
430-530 pm: Q&A Session & Dinner with Royston You can ask Robert almost any question you want about dance in this 1 hour session and you’ll be doing so while enjoying your pizza dinner (included in your weekend pass!). We’ll have both cheese and pepperoni options (including a gluten-free option).
Beginning of mini-intensives…
530-630 pm: Mastering Speed & Power – In this first mini-intensive, you’ll learn how to set up and participate in “speed and power” while stabilizing momentum and balance in the partnership. You’ll learn how to create impactful moments during your dance.
630-730 pm: The Secrets to Dancing to Different Genres of Music – In the second mini-intensive, you’ll learn how to modify your existing content to look completely different when dancing to Jazz, Blues, Contemporary, and other music genres.
730-830 pm: The Floor is Your Friend: In the final intensive, you’ll discover how to use the plane of propulsion and the plane of connection to dance like the pros. And you’ll learn why moving from your center (how most of us were first taught) causes you to lose your balance, dance off time, hurts your quality of movement, and it harms your connection.
830-930 pm Dance with Royston: Enjoy the first part of our social dance with DJs LL Wannie (aka La Wanna), DJ D, and possibly one other DJ! Want a guaranteed social dance with Robert? He will have 27 spots on his dance card and you can sign up at the check-in desk beginning around 4 pm that Sunday 1/25. First come first serve!
930 pm: Royston will improv demo with one of our local pro followers which should last around 3-5 minutes.
935 pm til midnight: Continue the social dance with La Wanna and our other DJs!
