OK, I missed the Sunday workshop, but just so that we're all talking about the same thing...
- What is a 'break' ?
Is it an instramental twiddly bit (for want of a better term)? Is it the gap between a verse and chorus? Is it where the tune 'pads' out with nothing much? Is it where the beat stops for a beat (you know what I mean)...
- Why should the dance outline these parts of the song?
because it fits better? because the music has let you? Because everyone else does?
- What is it that the best instructors recommended for breaks ?
Playing 'statues' and wiggling a bit (Posing)? a dip/drop/lean/seducer? somthing dramatic?
Personally I prefer a
flowing style of dance, so I agree with spindr when he winces at the 'statues' idea - I am unsure of the technical 'feel' of how a lady could lead a break; someone will have to show me on Tuesday before I can comment.
