PARTIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!!! Yet not all of us really enjoy them. Some of us actually stay seated or by the bar watching our phones, checking if we have new messages but we all know that very few people text at this type of hour... At some point we look up at the dance floor and... WOAAW some people are busting a small move together, swinging while smiling and having fun, all of this in sync. "Have they rehearsed together?" "Do they know each other?" "Are they dancers?" Most of the time the answer is none of the above. Then, "How do they do that??"  "Oh I wish I could do that too"  "Well anyways, I'm not cut out for that"  "It looks too complicated"  "Wait, the thing they're doing, what is that even called?"  "You know what, I think I actually don't like parties, I'm bored!"... If you have gone through similar experiences, let me tell you that you're not the only one and that it does really SUCKS! PARTIES ARE NOT FUN You may have felt it for the last months, or maybe years, but parties are not fun anymore when we get stuck in a corner while others are having fun. To the point where you get nervous if someone mentions about the next party you WILL HAVE to attend (because yes, some of your "friends" force you) just thinking about going through the same boring and frustrating experience. Meanwhile how can some people comparatively have so much fun on the dance floor?? They're obviously not dancers but they have a minimum of moves which allows them to catch on the vibe and be "part of the party". WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? So what is it? Shyness ? If so how to compensate that shyness? Some would suggest to just "forget about anyone and dance for yourself without caring about what other people think and bla bla bla..." Seriously, if it was that easy don't you think we would be already doing it?? *New Approach Suppose you had mastered the moves, would it make a difference? I bet it would! What you get good at you also get confident at , right? Leads us to the next question: How to get good at it? (Assuming we even know what moves or what it is we're looking for, which is yet another story itself...) YOUTUBE WON'T HELP You have tried, I have tried it, we have all tried it. Why Youtube doesn't work for us? Sadly, I found that YouTubers care a lot more about their views and how cool they look rather than teaching to a real beginner (which doesn't look that cool). You may or may not relate to it but most of the time I have tried YouTube dance tutorials, they were skipping a lot of things in-between, assuming "it made sense" to naturally guess whatever was not explicitly mentioned. IS THERE A MIRACLE SOLUTION? Unfortunately not! BUT THERE IS A METHOD THAT YOU CAN LEARN! I called this the breakdown method : Most of the steps have core moves and the rest is just layers of energy that are added to make it look "better" *METHOD: --> Remove every layers of energy (BREAKDOWN) --> Get to the core move and master it (Very easy) --> Start adding back layers of energy little by little Most of the time people learn the step in its entirety and that's why it so difficult to get! You have to focus on everything at the same time: your rhythm, your legs, your arms, hips... No way, we're beginners! I have spent time to study and understand the nature of steps and have tested it to my private dancing classes, re-crafting it over and over so it could be easily applied today, online. In this course you will: - use this Breakdown method to master 5 of the most popular moves and enjoy your next party - Get familiar with the process so learning moves will become faster for you as you progress throughout the course - Understand the right timing and the right use of these moves - Get feedback from me so I can tell you some personal suggestions - Stay up-to-date with the current trend, as I am always scouting for the freshest moves *Bonus You will also learn a way to multiply those moves with a secret trick so that your range gets even broader than 5 moves THERE IS NOT BETTER TIME TO LEARN THAN NOW Your next party could be next week, in a month from now, or for Christmas and New Year's eve! Let's change the game this time and make it one to remember as the new YOU, who enjoys busting a move and have fun at parties! Hope to see you in class and dramatically improve your game!!  :)

      What is improvisation? I believe there is no such thing like „I can not improvise in dance/ movements.” Everything is within you. Your body remembers all of your movement you have ever made. Your mind might not remember but your body does. It's one of the best way to improve self-knowledgement, awarness, sensitivity and not last to mention (self) expression. In these lectures I will teach you tasks which are very helpful to move your body differently. Every tasks will make you use a different quality of motion. The course contains: techniques which leads your focus to different body parts techniques how to use your enviroment to inspire your movements techniques which helps to read the space around you thoughts which froms your movement build inside rythm build awarness working with different moods and emotions There is no one who can NOT improvising! You don't even have to have a dancer background for it. You always move. Youre thoghts, your emotions, your body, within your body your cells are always moving. I just teach you ways where you can lead your movements. I hope you will face some „difficulties” where you don't have other choice but to step out of your comfort zone. The magic (the improvement) happens there. :) Be happy if you find some task hard. Always practise those more then just the fun task. There is two goals with this: to ENJOY and/ or to GROW. Enjoyment is fun time, growing is always the harder times. But trust yourself, and whatever it brings have fun!

            Ever seen one of those pro Shuffle Dancers bust out a move at a festival? People gather around, to cheer them on. Everyone pulls out their phone to record them and they get featured on YouTube and the EDM online forums. It's gotta be pretty sweet being the center of attention right? Well, if you're looking to also become the center of attention at the next music festival, then I've created this Shuffle Dance Masterclass for you! How is it different from these other 6-min dance tutorials out there? When you're trying to pick up a new language -- let's say French for example -- you can't really watch a "Top 10 useful French phrases" video to learn how to speak French right? Instead, if you want to learn how to speak French, you need to learn the French vocabulary, get the right amount of practice of these words, and then, you need to learn how to put the vocabulary together in the right order. After doing all these things, you can begin to start constructing sentences and speaking speaking French, right? Learning the language of "Shuffle Dancing" is the same way! The free 6-minute Shuffle tutorials out there teach you singular dance moves, but it doesn't teach you how to actually Shuffle DANCE. The Shuffle Dance Masterclass on the other hand, teaches you.. The right dance moves in the right pace Guides you through the right amount of repetition so you can perform the moves effortlessly Show you how to connect the dance moves together How to finally become fluent in the language of Shuffle Dancing Also, you'll learn a 20 second Shuffle Routine so you have something ready for the next music Festival right away! Once you've gone through this course, and follow through with the exercises, you will be ready for the Shuffle dance circle at the next event. Get started with the course now!

                  I have been dancing everything from hip hop to tap to ballet, and there isn't a dance that gives me as much pleasure as the Charleston! There is a reason why Charleston swept the nation during the 1920s and is once again sweeping the world with an incredible rebirth! This dance is ridiculously fun, easy to learn and some how provides the depth for a life long journey of discovery and improvement. If you don't believe me, just Search "I Charleston" on youtube. In this course you will start out with the basic's, but we are going to take it much further. I am going to give detailed breakdowns of the Advanced Charleston steps that only a handful of dancers in the world know, and took me over 12 years to figure out how to actually do properly. I think Charleston is most natural dance for the human body. It is based the body movement of walking combined with the head boppin' rhythm of authentic jazz and swing music. Now it has evolved to where you can dance it to your not only swing, but just about any for of pop music found today. Though simple at first glance, the Charleston expands into a variety of styles that are exciting and dynamic to dance once learned. They offer a great physical challenge for people looking to improve their dance skills and coordination since it is based on counter body movement and balancing the upper and lower body movements. A lot of the footwork and body movement found in Swing Dancing and Lindy Hop along with modern street dances like Shuffling, Hip Hop, Locking, House is based on the Charleston. Learning this dance is probably one of the best things you can do to strengthen your dance foundation and improve coordination and Rhythm. Once you have mastered the steps in this course, an endless world of improvisation is at your finger tips using vernacular jazz movements and self expression. In addition, it will open the doors to the world of swing dancing, Lindy Hop, Authentic Jazz and an international community of friendly dancers. Lastly, I can get through an hour of CrossFit or yoga but struggle to Charleston for more that 40 minutes. It is simply one of the most intense calorie munching workout's when done right. In this course, getting fit becomes the sweet side effect of having fun.
