Open to all levels, especially those who “can’t dance,” Evie will explore basic partnering and weight sharing, feeling the beat, understanding rhythms, calls and patterns in traditional dance, and easy clogging steps you can use to add rhythm to the music.
We'll work through square dance figures, and learn moves like "grand right & left", "box the gnat", "ladies chain" and more. An experienced and patient teacher, Evie is adept at both breaking down movements to their basic components, and building complex patterns. Her primary goal is for every level of dancer to enjoy dancing, gaining fluidity as well as understanding a dancer's role in the music.
