Blues with Shawn & Natalya 2/28/2013 City: Sydney, NSW, Australia Dances: Blues Sunday Feb 24 Blues dancing workshops with Shawn & Natalya - Sydney NSW
By Chris Kearns and Samantha Szetu
https://www.facebook.com/events/472069066182650/?ref=3

Some of you may have attended a blues dancing workshop in Sydney in Feb 2012 with Paul Mandel (Boston, USA) teaching. The teacher that Paul learnt from is Shawn Hershey, who is coming to Sydney with his partner, Natalya Gomez (both from USA) and they have kindly agreed to teach 3 blues dancing workshops while they are here. Woohoo!

We had 20+ couples in each of the 3 workshops in 2012 which was a great response. There is obviously a lot of demand for learning blues dancing in Sydney as evidenced by the great attendance to Paul's workshops, the monthly Juke Joint and the blues room staged at the semi-regular Speakeasy sessions.

Each workshop will be 1.25 hours long with a 15 minute social dancing break between each to practice what you've just learnt. The workshops will be followed by 3 hours of social dancing.

When: Sun 24th Feb 2013
Where: Paddington RSL Club, 220-232 Oxford St, Paddington

3 Workshops (descriptions coming soon):

* 1-2:15pm - Fundamentals
* 2:30-3:45pm - Fundamentals/Intermediate
* 4pm-5:15pm - Intermediate+

These workshops are also geared towards Lindy Hop dancers with no blues dancing experience or anyone looking to further develop their blues dancing skills. Come to all 3 workshops to really get your blues dancing groove on!

* 5:15-8pm - Social blues dancing (stay tuned for DJ announcements)

Costs
- $20 for a single workshop
- $35 for two workshops
- $50 for three workshops

Payment
Payment will be via cash on the door on the day only.

Please RVP via the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/472069066182650/?ref=3 and leave a comment as to which workshops you intend to do for planning purposes. You can also private message us if you prefer.

We hope to see you on Sun 24th Feb.

17thBlues with Johnny: Blues workshop with Johnny Lloyd and Ksenia Parkhatskaya UtrechtBlues Workshop
Blues with Johnny: Blues workshop with Johnny Lloyd and Ksenia Parkhatskaya 4/17/2013 City: Utrecht, Netherlands Dances: Blues Both Johnny and Ksenia are professional dancers across many genres and they use this unique perspective to teach Swing dancing through a combination of technical exercises and dance imagery, so that students take away tools for dancing instead of steps. The workshop will be built upon a very deep connection with the partner and focus strongly on musicality. They will start with an authentic look at jazz steps, move into practicing connection with the partner and end with a set of figures which translate easily to the social floor.

These are two very professional teachers. Johnny has been developing curriculum for dance academies around Europe and is known for his light handed didactic. He is extremely active as a performer and choreographer and teaches because he loves it. Ksenia has won many titles for her beautiful authentic Jazz and blues dancing. Together they share the class as smoothly as they dance, not explaining too much, giving students plenty of space to acquire the material for themselves.

Blue Moon Blues 5/24/2013 City: Copenhagen, Denmark Dances: Blues, Fusion After Lukes amazing workshop in Malmö we immediately asked him cancel his tickets home and spend a weekend with the rapidly growing Danish Blues community. Luke gladly agreed to come and dance with us!

Luke will spend four hours dancing with us and we asked him specifically to "go out on a limb" and do something different and special with us. He's taken the challenge and will fly in to dance with us for three days and party with us for three nights.

"As a Dancer my goal is to make the person I’m dancing with want to dance with me again and again", Luke Weismann.

The first two hours of the workshop will be Lukes fantastic break down of moves which really would spark the creativity of even the best dancers. Then he'll go into musicality and finally he'll go out on a limb... Then we'll social dance a bit before we go party all night at Blues Club.

Luke will spend four hours dancing with us and we asked him specifically to "go out on a limb" and do something different and special with us. He's taken the challenge and will fly in to dance with us for three days and party with us for three nights.

"As a Dancer my goal is to make the person I’m dancing with want to dance with me again and again", Luke Weismann.

The first two hours of the workshop will be Lukes fantastic break down of moves which really would spark the creativity of even the best dancers. Then he'll go into musicality and finally he'll go out on a limb... Then we'll social dance a bit before we go party all night at Blues Club.

13thDance the Blues Away Blues, Other House Party
Dance the Blues Away 7/13/2013 Dances: Blues, Other On July 13th, blues dancers and their friends all over the world will come together to celebrate the power of dance and raise money for a great cause. House parties in many different cities happening simultaneously will offer relaxed and open environments for music, dancing, and sharing. The money raised will go toward Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) research for individuals living with mood and anxiety disorders.

The medical community is increasingly taking note of what social dancers have known for years: that dance reduces stress, boosts confidence, and promotes happiness. Julia Dillard, a dance therapist and blues social dancer in Colorado Springs, said about the power of DMT: "My clinical internship work was with acute inpatient psychiatric clients with dual diagnosis or mood/anxiety disorders... It was pretty common for clients to say things like 'I felt happy for the first time in months!' or 'I forgot I could enjoy my life without drugs' after dance therapy sessions." There have been some enormous strides in DMT research, but there is still a long way to go.

As a participant of Dance the Blues Away, you have the opportunity to get sponsors, attend your local DtBA party, and bring your friends (non-dancers included) to experience an all-nighter celebrating joy, happiness, and well-being through dance!
15thAlt Recess Massive East of Sacramento, CABlues, Fusion Workshop
Alt Recess Massive 7/15/2013 City: East of Sacramento, CA Dances: Blues, Fusion The 2013 Recess Massive (UBR/LVBR), while an annual event, this year will be a first in many ways. This July we will gather 20 minutes east of Grass Valley, California, where we have found a spectacular 325+ acre property of wooded mountainside in the foothills of the Sierras with panoramic views of the thousands of acres of wooded wilderness that surround us. It will be a first not only because we have deliberately chosen a venue site where we will be building and bringing in everything: our own dance venues, off grid kitchens, water storage facilities, power grid, cuddle chill zones, and thousands of square feet of mobile dance floors. But this year the event will also be a week long, running Monday to Monday (July 15th to 22nd). This already incredible setting accompanying the hallmark Recess boundary-pushing Alt, Fusion, and Blues DJs and live acts bumping until sunrise, mind-blowing skill-share workshops running in the daytimes, inspiring (and prized!) gender-f*ck and Alt competitions, and a radically inclusive ethic that can't help but inspire the community that we all deserve.

7thWeekend Blues Workshop with Barry BerlinBlues, Lindy, Fusion, Tango, Solo Jazz Workshop
Weekend Blues Workshop with Barry 12/7/2013 City: Berlin Dances: Blues, Lindy, Fusion, Tango, Solo Jazz WBWB is an intensive 7 hours Blues Weekend Workshop dance experience designed to enhance and improve your overall movement application. It will help you take the technical information and transform it into movement application. So if you want to geek out on Blues, improve your body awareness and see improvement in the way you move in just one weekend, this is the workshop for you.

Barry "The Man" Douglas:

It is hard to describe Barry. After all of his dancing experience from childhood onwards, his successes and teaching in over 24 countries some say he is the legend, others describes his as the ambassador of the Blues, others as just TheMan. He is really "The Man" of Blues and it would be a pity to miss this great dance legend while he is in Berlin.

Even before starting his formal training, at the age of 12, Barry was learning Blues standing on his grandfather's feet and listening to his grandpa's stories of the “Black Bottom”, the “Dirty Boogie” and the party days of Juke Joints and Speak Easies! His fascination with these stories and others about Blues dancing and its relationship to slavery is what inspired him to start his long and joyous journey in the world of professional dancing. Although he is certified in 16 different dances and has won multiple state and national championships, he still retains his street roots and his fascination with the Blues.

His smooth, authentic style and method of teaching will provide you with all the little technical details you need to make your dancing smoother and more fluid.

Activist Workshops: Interactive workshops and discussions addressing larger cultural and community issues such as gender assumptions, homophobia, sexism, consent, and the sexualization of dance.
Facilitated Discussions: Focused conversations designed to create constructive and safe spaces to share personal experiences, discuss issues we see in our community, and construct action plans to bring home after the event.

The curriculum will be scheduled so that participants can shape the focus of their weekend in whichever way they prefer. Come and spend an entire intensive weekend working on your dancing and your non-dominant role. Come and spend an intensive weekend talking about and workshopping some of the hardest hitting gender and oppression issues in the community. Or take a combination of activist and dance centered classes. One of our largest goals in this event is to create new bridges between dancer allies who are new to the activist scene and long time activists whose lens can help us create the community we all deserve.

15thEpicenter: Memphis with Evin and Noah Memphis, TNBlues, Lindy Workshop
Epicenter: Memphis with Evin and Noah 3/15/2014 City: Memphis, TN Dances: Blues, Lindy Evin and Noah Galang have been teaching Swing Era dances since 1998 and combine solid technique & connection with highly creative interpretation and a sense of humor. Often referred to as "the funny one and the mysterious one," the duo have had to live life in limbo, wondering which one was which. Meanwhile, their teaching style remains easy to understand and they seek to both challenge and encourage their students to achieve new levels in their own dancing. Teaching internationally since 2001 Evin considers herself truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work in a variety of dance and cultural communities to help preserve and progress the dance. As a lifelong martial arts practitioner and sometimes teacher, Noah is happy to be teaching people not to try to destroy each other. Evin and Noah also adore working with their students back home where they run the premier Atlanta lindy hop instruction and performance company Down South Swing.
