Learn to do the Latin Hustle with this crash course from World Champion Katie Marlow.
This 3-Hour Intensive is aimed at the Social Dancer, with the objective of getting you out on the dance floor and able to dance and enjoy a song in one afternoon.
Katie’s structured breakdown and her teaching system is world renowned, and has made the learning process simple and fun!
This bootcamp will consist of 3 instructional sessions with a short practice break included for each hour. We start at the very beginning and work forward from there.
Even if you have had classes before, the bootcamp provides an opportunity to strengthen your skills and reinforce basic technique, which will, with repetition, be the pathway toward dancing with ease. At the conclusion, students will have a basic understanding of the dance, and will possess enough basic moves and even a little bit of pizazz, and be able to combine these moves to successfully get through a song.
The bootcamp covers the following:
From the Beginning: No matter the dance, it ALWAYS comes back to a strong understanding of the basics. Whether you are brand new, or just looking to brush up and hone your technique, this class provides a great structure for anything to follow.
A clear and simple breakdown of “The Step”, “The Timing”, “The Breaks” and “The Technique”. We go over proper pivot technique for Hustle, Proper Connection Skills, and how to Define Your Line of Dance. We will break down basic patterns that serve as the “building blocks” of the dance. These fundamental moves will allow students to effectively move forward and execute more intricate steps to follow.
The 5 FUNdamental Turns and Cues for Hustle: All patterns stem from these 5 essential movements. Right Pivot, Left Pivot (as covered in the first hour), 1.5 Inside Turn, Double Outside Turn and Basic Check.
We break these down and show the proper lead, follow and timing of these movements. Master these turns and you are well on your way to becoming a good social dancer!
Variations: Explore some creative variations utilizing movements from the first two workshops to create a loop-able routine! As a bonus, and depending on progression of the students, we will add in one simple travelling move.
We will have a 2 hour break, you can order in or go to one of the local restaurants
