In this workshop you will have the chance to learn some of the common traditional couple dance forms found all over Europe in the last few centuries, how to have fun improvising over them, and how to comfortably and respectfully navigate a dance floor.
This is a follow-up to the dance workshop at Vaka on the 14th (https://www.vakareykjavik.is/vinnustofurworkshops) but is open to everyone. Depending on who turns up, we can either cover the same material, continue where we left off, or dive deeper into topics people are particularly interested in. I’ll be around from 17:00 to 20:00, there’s no set programme or structure so feel free to drop in/out any time.
This workshop is for anyone who:
* has listened to folk music and asked themselves “this sounds groovy, but how do I dance to it?” * plays traditional dance music and wants to understand how to make it sound groovy and danceable * is searching for a fulfilling way of dancing to folk music without complex choreographies, a dance leader, gender roles, or other outdated power dynamics
No special shoes or clothing are required provided you can move comfortably. It’s not necessary to come with a partner (but feel free to bring your friends!).
As the days grow shorter our need for rest and attentive care grows stronger. We would like to warmly welcome you to a day of care and hibernation exploring what it means to create a bear cave, soothe our nerves and explore care practices.
Everyone is welcome!
Admission is free
Facilitated by Meeri Susanna Mäkinen & Linde Hanna Rongen from the team of Dance Enthusiasts.
