Deep Dive: Balão Apagado

Description

Wednesdays 18:00–19:15, with a 15-minute practica included at 19:15–19:30 When you sign up for this course, access to the Tuesday drop-in workshop & social is included in the price. 4 weeks — November 25 to December 16 Requires foundations of zouk. Balão apagado is circular head movement layered on top of the basic steps. It's a beautiful movement to learn, and along the way it often reveals weaknesses in our basics — giving us the chance to address and fix them. Over four weeks, you'll build both the movement itself and a stronger foundation underneath it. The practica right after class is a relaxed, no-pressure space to put what you've just learned into practice with your classmates. How it works: You don't need a partner to join — just show up. During class we'll rotate partners, so you get to practice with different people and build real versatility as a dancer. What to wear: Comfortable clothes you can move freely in. For shoes, indoor shoes you can easily turn in work great — or dance in socks. Avoid shoes with heavy grip, as they make turns harder on your knees. Etiquette: Be respectful, communicate clearly, and come fresh and ready to dance close with others. Everyone's here to learn and have a good time in a welcoming space. We can't wait to dance with you!
