“High-Speed Chess” is a term from boxing that I’ve always loved — and it’s the theme of this workshop.
Social dance is also high-speed chess, but with inverted goals.
Instead of aggression, it’s invitation.
Instead of confusing your opponent, it’s clarity with your partner.
Instead of knocking someone down, it’s lifting someone up.
Fast decisions. Constant adaptation. Timing. Listening. Rhythm. Control.
That’s Clave.
That’s partner dancing.
