Workshop with Trisha Sewell - Limited Spots!

Part 1: Where the Groove Lies

This part of the workshop invites you to experience groove as something you live within rather than just something you dance to. We will focus on how rhythm is held, expressed, and sustained through the body, enhancing your sense of pulse, flow, and musical presence. Through exploration, you will develop a more grounded, adaptable connection to rhythm, allowing the groove to naturally influence both your solo movement and your partner dancing. This session aims to lay the foundation for greater clarity, ease, and expressiveness in your dancing.

Part 2: Hear It, Feel It, then Move It

Building on the foundation of groove, this class places music at the centre of your movement choices. Instead of shaping the dance first with sequences and patterns, we explore how rhythm, phrasing, and dynamics naturally guide the body’s movement. With a focus on openness, curiosity, and embodied listening, you will aim to develop a more intuitive relationship with the music. This encourages greater musicality, responsiveness, and freedom of expression, enabling you to move with intention and authenticity.
