Trio exploration (with Terhi, 2 classes)
Trios can feel challenging from a technical or psychological perspective but they can also bring safety, spaceness and easiness for dancing and create more openness in the jams by breaking the duo format. In these classes we will explore ways to enter a dance, keep a trio ongoing and flowing. We will discuss the potential obstacles that can keep us from dancing trio and work on some technical aspects that support trio dancing.
