Balance is the most basic skill.
To teach steps is easy. To teach balance is difficult.

Workshop Objective
The objective of this workshop is to teach people how
to dance comfortably with partners of all skill levels,
for most types of social dancing.
This workshop is for Israeli partner dancing.
A modified version of this workshop also works for other
choreographed partner groups like Contra, English Country,
International, Scottish and Square dancing.
This workshop is also useful for novice, beginning
and intermediate non-choreographed dance groups,
like social ballroom, swing, salsa and hustle dancers.
The workshop teaches the fundamental principles of
all social partner dancing: balance, connection and momentum.
Even if you are an advanced dancer or an instructor,
if you cannot articulate these basic principles in a systematic way,
this workshop should be of benefit to you.
With these three fundamental skills people can do
any kind of social dancing.
Workshop Size
This workshop can be for groups of any size,
from individuals to hundreds.
The smaller the group, the more personal attention
and the more one will learn.
Workshop Time
This program can fit into a larger workshop,
or it can be the feature program for the day or weekend.
Workshops can be of any length from one hour to two days.
Workshop Structure
All sessions are designed to be fun and see that everyone
has a great time.
The sessions use a series of exercises to convey
the principles, so people are kept busy
participating.
The sessions build on successive skills and knowledge.
The sessions address physical technique, social etiquette
and emotional issues.
The sessions are adjusted according to the amount
of time available and the skill level of the group.
