About Grey Armstrong
Grey found blues dancing long ago when dancing with his grandfather as a child. At university he found others doing a dance similar to what he knew, and clung to the familiar music. Grey is internationally known for innovative classes, deep cultural context, and an intuitive learning style. Leaving students with a lingering feeling they have been changed beyond just dance. He loves to challenge students physically but also intellectually and emotionally, with his experience based teaching.
About the Workshop
How to get down at Eastside Kings Festival
No matter if you have been dancing for years or months dancing to live music with a crowd can be intimidating. What do you do when the song, just. Keeps. Going?! How do you dance to a drum break? How do you stay comfortable while dancing fast anyway? How do I dance with a “non” dancer? How do I show off for anyone watching?
Some things we will touch on are:
- looking cool
- close embrace- getting into it, making it comfortable, and getting out
- fast and rhythmic music
- why the basics will keep you dancing all weekend
- ways to connect with anyBODY you meet
And much more!
By brushing up on old skills, learning a few new ones, and some fun trips and tricks, this workshop will get you ready to get down all weekend!
