| Here are some comments about Kay that were sent to us by Member participants: "Lots of happy faces dancing last night! Had my private lesson with Kay today and she was lovely and had some good suggestions for me! Well worth it!!! If you didn't book a lesson with her this time, do it next time!" "Great workshops and dance last night. Thanks to everyone responsible for sending me home with sore feet and a smile on my face." "It was a WONDERFUL Dance!" |
| From Kay: "You know what I love about this club? How ready everyone is to have fun together & take care of each other & DANCE as a way to enjoy each others' company, with music and movement. You are fabulous hosts, and p.s. SO FUN TO DANCE WITH. Please keep doing what you are doing. It is marvelous, and it was a JOY to spend a weekend with you amazing people. Also your weather is awesome. Keep that up." |
What a terrific weekend with Kay Newhouse. The weekend workshops were fun, engaging and very useful
to the more than forty Members and guests who participated. The workshops were designed to increase
the dancers' recognition of elements of West Coast Swing music that create opportunity for both partners
to interpret the music.

The first workshop was about finding the upbeat and downbeat. The first two beats define all the things in
West Coast: the BOOM and the TICK. We used “listen & move” exercises and worked through some applied
variations.

The second workshop was about movement. The goal of this class was to make our dancing ooze and flow
like a Westie on those slow songs. But it's not just for slow WCS--the movement mastery can apply to all
your dancing.

The final workshop applied our earlier lessons on music and movement and showed us some simple but
effective alterations to our basic WCS patterns to have FUN with a funky song and bring some partnered
play into our WCS.
