Dancehall (absolute beginners) · October
The second intake of the season, same structure: 12 sessions, twice a week, fixed group.
What this is
Dancehall proposes something else: start by feeling the music, not by solving it. Born in Jamaica, it is more than a collection of steps: it is music, culture and social dance, a vocabulary built over time by Jamaican dancers and communities. We don't strip the moves of their context to build quick choreography. We learn the language before we try to write sentences with it. The first three weeks are the foundation: bounce, groove, weight transfer, posture, coordination and the first foundation steps. In the next three we start combining the vocabulary, with variations, transitions, musicality and flow.
What you leave with
With a real Dancehall vocabulary, not just a routine you forget two weeks later. You use your weight, torso, pelvis and arms better, and you start hearing more in the music. But the most interesting change happens between the steps. You start to have flow: the body no longer looks like it is permanently waiting for the next instruction. Sometimes dancing better doesn't mean doing more, it means fighting the music less.
How it works
Six weeks, two classes a week, an hour and a half each, at Dance Prestige. Classes are taught by Simona and by the program assistants, Ariana and Karla, depending on how each session is built. Who teaches when, the materials and any updates are shared in the group's WhatsApp chat. We film some exercises along the way: video lets you see things you can't feel in real time. If you'd rather not appear, tell us from the start.
