Workshop Descriptions

 

Workshop 1 (12:00-1:15)

The Walk: Technique, Connection & Direction

​Deep work on posture, embrace, weight transfer, and intention in the walk. Exploring how small technical adjustments create clarity and power in simple forward and backward walking patterns, including changes of direction.

Workshop 2 (1:45-3:00)

The Cross: Basic Structures Reimagined

​Using the classic salida and cross as a foundation, we’ll explore clean technique, dissociation, and subtle variations that open new pathways while keeping everything socially functional.

Workshop 3 (3:15-4:30)

Turns: Building Stability from Fundamentals

​​​Breaking down molinetes and simple turns with a focus on axis, pivot technique, and clear lead/follow mechanics. How to create dynamic yet grounded turns that work beautifully on a social floor.
