From the beat to the melody: following the singing part of the music, not just the pulse.

Joaquín Amenábar

Tickets · 39.00 €

If you walk securely on the beat, half of the music still lies ahead of you. Above the pulse lies the melody — with its own accents, its own arcs and its own breath, which do not keep to a fixed grid.

In this workshop you learn to hear this second layer and to follow it in your dancing: sometimes going along, sometimes waiting, sometimes stressing a single note. Your dance becomes softer and more personal without becoming more complicated.

What you take home

The ability to switch between rhythm and melody — and with it a way to make quite different dances out of the same steps.
