The Workshop
Once per month, Barry and Brenda will be teaching a 4.5 class hour workshop. It will include warm-ups, solo movement, and partnered blues. The level will be open to the entire community, because most people remain unfamiliar with the techniques they will be teaching.
What are these Techniques? Barry is a many-time ballroom champion and an excellent teacher. He has a long history of street dance, even creating widely recognized new styles of dance. Brenda has danced vintage jazz and other street dances for many years, training with Barry for much of that time. Together, they have synthesized their years of training and techniques to bring you something amazing.
There is little doubt that this series of workshops will revolutionize Portland's dancing. Those who put the time and energy into learning WILL progress, and this workshop is designed to give the students ample intensity, rest, and practice time. We are trying to make the atmosphere most conducive to learning.
