SwingerG workshop 2010 in Heidelberg!
“If we had all the time in the world” – what would we teach?

SwingerG = The interaction of two or more dance teachers so that their combined knowledge is greater than the sum of their individual knowledge. (like synergy

The third SwingerG workshop with Andrew Sutton and Ali&Katja is coming up in October 2010 (Oct 23.+24.).

When preparing for this workshop, we asked our selves:
“If we had all the time in the world” – what would we teach?

Instead of picking a few ideas and teaching those, we aim to break the conventional structure of classes. By combining and rearranging the schedule for 5 days, we create a workshop schedule that does not hold back, everything’s in there: Andrew’s Warm up Medley, the Variety Show, the California Routine, Musicality, Ninja Rhythm, Big Apple Jazz Movement, Layers of Leading&Following, the Beauty of Doing Nothing, Superman Dancing, and Aha’s (and that was just for the Saturday)!

Like the previous years, we will keep you on your toes by working with the “layer” concept: You will learn a concept or a move, then we’ll add a new layer to it. For example: How do I use the stretch and tension? How can I make a move even better and finally, what else can I do with it? Ultimately, we will guide you to create your own unique variation!

This method of adding many different layers on a move guarantees that you will reach your best potential and grow from there throughout the workshop. And when we say guarantee, we mean it! If at the end of the workshop, you aren’t completely satisfied, we will refund you the entire workshop price!

Enjoy 10 hours of classes taught by Andrew and Ali&Katja.

Why Andrew?
We want Andrew to teach with us because he was the first who brought to us the ground breaking concept of “layers” of dance and technique. A couple of years ago, at a workshop in Heidelberg, he taught us how to use these different layers to become more aware and creative in our dancing. This amazing experience changed our way of learning and teaching dance. We believe that this concept is a “must know” for every dancer and Andrew is the best in the world to communicate it!

Pricing
Andrew’s workshops are usually priced a lot higher than our normal workshops, often up to one hundred and seventy five euros. However, we – Ali&Katja – have figured out some ways to bring the price down.

The regular price for the 2 day workshop is €160, HOWEVER, we want as many people as possible to take advantage of this incredible workshop!

So… for the first 10 leads & 10 follows that register before Ali’s birthday on September 3rd, Ali&Katja will chip in €60, to make your cost only €100 for the workshop. That’s over 10 hours of high octane instruction plus a dance on Saturday night.

To register, email to us at aliandkatja@gmail.com

Together with Andrew Sutton, we will bring an unique workshop with classes designed to help you reach your level of flow! By working with layers and building up from there. We will take a move and add new layers to it. How do I use the stretch and tension? How can I make a move even better and finally, what else can I do with it? Ultimately, we will guide you to create your own unique variation!

This method of adding many different layers on a move guarantees that you will reach your level of flow, and stay there throughout the workshop. And when we say guarantee, we mean it! If at the end of the workshop, you aren’t completely satisfied, we will refund you the entire workshop price!

Flow through 10 hours of classes for level 1-3 dancers taught by Andrew and Ali&Katja.

Here are the workshop details in short. Please click on the links for the complete information:

October 2009 Sat. 24. and Sun. 25.

Do you know this feeling, when you are so immersed
in an activity that you forget everything around you?

It feels like floating on air, it’s fun, it’s even a little addictive…
This feeling is called the “flow”.

It happens when you get the perfect mix of challenge and information that
keeps you on your toes while letting you succeed in what your doing.

Sounds nice?
Well, here’s where you can get the flow!
