Re: Online Workshop: Sensual Dancing

Although I find Gadget's work interesting, I do wonder about how far you can teach something like Blues 'online'. IMHO Blues, more than any other segment of MJ is about a 'feel' rather than moves. Its about letting the music take you and your partner, and about how you find techniques to allow you to interpret the different flavours in the music and meld better with your partner.

Having gone through the (painful) process of putting together a level 2 Blues workshop from scratch, I find it difficult to find teaching model to convey the points I'm trying to make. I really wish I had a formal music background like Nigel so I could teach musicality better. However, the real value of the workshop comes from showing how to move to the music then coaching the students into how to do it for themselves. Fair comment?
