CHRISTMAS BREAK/WELCOME BACK DATES

 

Please note that there will be no classes after the Director’s Cut Dance Party until our Welcome Back Dinner Dance Night on Friday 4th January.

 

WELCOME BACK SOCIAL DINNER DANCE NIGHT

FRI 4TH JAN

 

To celebrate the start of the new year, we’re going to kick off with a fun, social dinner/dance night.  I’ll book us in at a nice café/restaurant either on Hutt or Rundle St, to start off the night, then we’ll open up Club JBN with a great night of social dancing fun and games!

Further details such as venues and specific times for the January program will be released shortly, so keep your eyes out! 

 


WORKSHOPS/ROUTINE

Heartbreaker Routine

In addition to our Freestyleable Style and Catch the Hits (with Dips and Drops) workshops, Jive by Night is proud to announce the unveiling of the new HEARTBREAKER routine – a cheeky, fun routine choreographed by Sam and Paul.  As a bonus for those planning to do the Freestyleable Style Workshop, we will be teaching the beginning of the new routine in the morning of Sat 19th January!!! Put that date in your diary, because I can guarantee there will be lots of laughing, learning and fun in general!   Then start thinking about a partner for the following series of HEARTBREAKER workshops, also to be taught early next year.  I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to enjoy sharing a routine with you all.  Just ask the staff how much fun they are to learn!!!

 

HEARTBREAKER – ROUND 1

SAT 19TH  JANUARY


Free-Style-Able Style Workshop


FRI 11TH JAN – PART 1

SAT 19TH JAN – PARTS 2 & 3


This is the workshop you’ve all been waiting for.  It’s where we take elements of style, such as arm movement, footwork patterns, slides, and yes, even body rolls, and teach you how to incorporate them into your freestyle.  The workshops will be practical, and focused on how you can actually lead/follow style elements, and thus incorporate them in your freestyle.  There are three parts to the workshop – part one is being taught on Friday 11th Jan from 7pm at Club JBN, followed by social dancing, band parts 2 and 3 are being taught on Sat 19th Jan.  Part one will be of a more basic level, with parts 2 & 3 becoming more complex. 


Catch the Hits Workshop

(Dips, Drops and Freezes)

SAT 26TH JAN


If you’ve ever wondered how it is the best dancers seem to find exactly the right spot in the music to pull off the dips and other flashy moves?  Well, don’t wonder any more, this workshop is for you.  In this workshop we’re going to teach you a whole bunch of funky dips, drops, freezes and checks that you can use to highlight your dancing.   We’re also going to look at when then best time is to use them, and give you some tips and practice at finding those perfect spots in the music.  Come along, and learn how to really use those cool moves you know to make your dancing look really spectacular!

TRIVIA

 

1.             Frame is all about keeping your elbows in front of your body and maintaining good posture through the rest of your body.

2.             When getting all inspired about aerials, it’s a good idea to stretch and warm-up first.

Well done to our venue manager, Binx for coming and setting up the venue for us despite being unwell.  Thanks Binx, you helped make sure everyone had a great night.  It’s great to see people coming out twice a week like Will and Eva who are really improving, and the comment one of our dancers made “oh, I really got that class – it must have been easy,” just shows how much everyone is improving!  Great to see guys, I’m proud of you all!

 

 

Happy Confi-Dancing,


See you all soon.
