SHAPE BENDER
Open To All Levels
by Toni Sails with Ellen Dacombe (UK)
The essence of this workshop is to introduce students to an overhaul of their dance doctrine. A deconstruction and de-compartmentalisation of dance where one is free to break rules and think freely. Not in the framework of a said dance but to think of a domain where the dance style is irrelevant and the music is king.

3:15-4:15pm
FUN FACTOR
Open To All Levels
by Michaela Cullimore & Vanroe Stone (NZ)
This workshop covers practical tips, concepts and moves that facilitate a fun dance. People leave with an understanding of the role humour (and dopamine 😉) have in a dance, both socially and competitively. Warning: this will be a fun and rather punny workshop. Michaela and Van take no responsibility for the impact that dad jokes, one liners or witty remarks may have upon the individuals attending.
