I've got turns on my jumps, I've got jumps on my turns

We got two words: Byron Seddens. (And for us, those are some pretty exciting words.)   Byron has performed, studied, taught and choreographed throughout the United States, Japan, and the Caribbean.  And now he'll be teaching in the heart of SOMA at Shoebox Studios on Tuesday nights from 7:15-8:45 PM.  But there's something else we're writing about here that we'd like to tell you about.  We'd like  you to come join us for a special event we've put together with Byron.  Please read on to learn more. :-) 


After some arm twisting, we've convinced him to do a Turns and Jumps clinic.  This is such an amazing opportunity to learn from Byron in an intimate setting, and we're not sure when he will be able to make time again in his busy schedule to do it.  If you've been thinking about a way to up your game in your dancing, this is a great opportunity to learn from a world renowned master.

Here are some of the deets:

Turns and Jumps with Byron Seddens
Date: Saturday, March 5, 2011
Time: 1:30-3:30
Where: Shoebox Studio, 864 Folsom St.

This class will focus on the mechanics of jumps and turns. In here we will focus on things such as alignment/placement, timing and those pesky “little” things that may be keeping you from that extra revolution or from executing that dazzling jump the way you wish! Byron has been analyzing and focusing on these areas with his students for years and aiding them in the techniques and “tricks” that help them achieve their goals!

Even more deets: 

• You don't have to be a professional ballet or jazz dancer. 
• You do need to know your left foot from your right foot.
• If you're a bellydancer or an ethnic dancer, it's an awesome cross training class.
• If you are of the ballet/jazz variety, it's gonna up your game.

We also found this cool video that's an awesome inspiration for the workshop.  While we can't guarantee this is what your jumps and turns will look like at the end of the workshop, we still think its a cool video with some insane jumps and turns, and a great source of inspiration. 

See ya in the studio!


To jumping and turning~
