Swing Dance Jacksonville: Cornucopia of Swing: Waking With Style

"I'm walkin'-Yes indeed, I'm talkin'-Bout you and me, I'm hopin'-That you'll come dance with me, yeah, yeah!" -Fats Domino

Walking With Style!

Have you ever thought about or paid attention to how you walk and move? I know that I had personally never given it much thought until I started Swing Dancing. Most of our movement comes so naturally that we don’t have to think about it consciously, it’s just something that we do.

An example of dance walking- the Camel Walk by Al Minns

In our class this week we are going to examine how we walk and what happens to our bodies as we naturally react to speed adjustments. After a bit of self-examination, we’ll go into the promenade position and go for a little walk with our partners. During the class we will be using the concepts of frame and tension to see how we can use the information gleaned from our body’s natural movements and mechanics to communicate more effectively to our partners.
