New Round Dance Classes Starting!
Michael & I are excited to announce that we will be holding new Round Dance Classes for anyone who would like to join. We will be rotating ryhthms each 6 weeks so that everyone can join in and experience the fun that is Round Dancing.
Starting on Monday 17th June 6pm we will be holding lessons in the rhythm of Bolero.
Round Dancing can be described as Choreographed Ballroom Dancing. It is a beautiful style of dancing covering many different rhythms. So why not give it a try, bring a partner and give it a go.
See you there!
What is Bolero?
Bolero was a Spanish dance in 3/4 time during the 1700s, but it was danced to
2/4 music and then to 4/4 music in Cuba during the 1800s, and it became popular
in the United States in the 1930s. Round dancing picked up this rhythm in the
1990s. Bolero is smooth, powerful, romantic, full of love and
yearning. It has been called the "Cuban Dance of Love."
Bolero is characterized by a closer hold, almost a waltz closed position, by the side step that begins most figures, by body rise during that first step, and by one of the slowest tempos in round dancing. A second key feature of bolero is a heaviness, an inertia, and a connectedness between the partners, from one body, through the arms, to the other body. So you don't just take the steps described above. You have tone that connects you to your partner, and each helps the other take each step. There is a dragging kind of feel and a consequent smooth flow.
You can think of Bolero as having a "slow, quick, quick" feel to it.
Watch a demonstration of Bolero below. Within 6 weeks we will have you dancing as beautifully as this.
