Karen Andrew from Aurora Live Inc. is an accomplished dancer and an excellent teacher. Her passion for dance also fuels her sense of responsibility to introduce dance to young kids... and big kids!
In the two-hour workshop, Karen stresses the importance of stretching and core stability in dance and teaches basic steps in jazz dance. She even manages to get all 17 of us learn a short number with turns and hip movements!!
Without any mirrors and friends around, I concentrate on counting the beats out loud (1,2,3...7,8), memorizing the steps, and following Karen's advice to "feel the music" and "dance like no one is watching." It is so much fun! I highly recommend this workshop to everyone! I can't wait till next year to do this workshop with....
I am sore all over the next day after a hard crash to reality.
