The styles that will be covered in this group class are mainly 4 Step, but we will also look at 8 Step, and Freestyle Pub Rock. Different dance communities have different names for these styles. Different groups also have different names for the same steps... but it's ALL Rock'n'Roll... and it's all fun! In NZ, 4 Step is called Single, and in Ballroom groups it is sometimes called Street Jive. 8 Step in NZ is called Triple, and Freestyle Pub Rock is very similar to a Rock'n'Roll style called Ceroc. These classes are for dancers who are new to dancing or at a beginner level. Our focus will be on learning the basic steps, how to move them, how to lead and follow, and the techniques we use to make even our basics feel amazing! Even intermediate and advanced dancers benefit from recapping basic technique and style of movement to incorporate into their dancing! Everyone is welcome to attend! We support degendering in dance, so you can dance whichever role you choose: Lead or Follow. Across Australia and the world, dance scenes are embracing that first and foremost we are ALL just dancers... enjoying social interactions and our love of music interpreted through movement. Dancers are also embracing that knowing BOTH sides of any partner dance, makes your dancing better!
