Beginners Salsa Workshop using Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais

Salsa Workshop

with David Hall and Wendy Twibill Sunday 10th May 2009, 10AM - 5PM, $150 At Prana House, Thornbury Beginners Salsa Workshop using Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais. Salsa is a style of music and a partner dance that originally hails from Cuba. The music is absolutely infectious and the dance is exciting, infinitely flexible and a great deal of fun. To dance Salsa well, is to move simply, synchronously and most importantly, to move in time. In Salsa you move with the pulse. It’s a good metaphor for life. Every time you take a step you change your weight completely. The more relaxed you are the easier that is and the more closely you are able to listen. Herein lies a secret. Where is the centre of the beat? Where is your centre? And if you maintain the stillness between yourself and your partner what are you able to feel? This beginners workshop will explore Salsa’s basic steps and the art of dancing together. We will utilise the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method to facilitate the learning process and generate soulful, rhythmic and spirited Salsa dancing. David Hall and Wendy Twibill first encountered Salsa ten years ago on a honeymoon in Cuba. They have been fascinated ever since. They run Bang Bang Salsa on Sydney’s northern beaches. David has been a practitioner of the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method for over twenty years. He is the author of the CD series ‘The Heavenly Gait and Other Earthly Pleasures’ www.bodylogic.net.au
