Thursdays @ 8pm to 10pm
West Coast Swing Musicality, Movement & "Power Up" Sessions
Chicago Dance Factory's West Coast Swing "Power Up" is designed for social and competitive WCS dancers who are passionate about growing in their dance.
Goals can be as simple as wanting to become a musical and fun social dancer to being able to define and demonstrate crucial concepts that judges look for at different levels of competition.
What to Expect:
- Each session will begin with drills that cover topics like footwork, connection, isolations, syncopations, floor compression, and musicality.
- The session will then focus on primary concepts that are associated with a "foundation" of concepts that Focus Team Members want to learn and gain a use and mastery of.
- Team sessions will resolve with a guided practice session to drill both individual as well as partnering concepts taught in the class.
Am I Qualified to Join the "Power Up Session"?
- Power Team attendees do not need to know West Coast Swing for Part 1 and 2 which is Musicality and Movement but should have a working use of West Coast Swing for Part 3 though it's perfectly fine to sit back and watch part 3.
What will the Power Up Session work on?
- Each Session will have 3 Parts:
- Musicality - Pulsing, Lyrcial, Phrasing, Phrase Changes, Texturing, Base Rythyms, Swung Rhythyms
- Movement - Floor Compression, Body Control, Posture, Forearm tenacity, Center & Hip Isolations, Turns & Spins
- Partnering - Leverage, Compression, Double Resistance, CPC, Spacial Control, Speed Changes
- Competitive - Blues VS Contemporary, Phrase Changes, Energy Changes & Redirection, and more...
