Does the thought of moving slowly onstage or even (shudder!) staying completely still sent you into a full-blown showpony existential crisis? Join Jezebel Express to explore the pleasures of slowing it down. Jezebel is a notoriously quick shimmy-shaker who didn’t even attempt a slow burn routine for years because slow movement made her feel like an awkward turtle who was trying unsuccessfully to be seductive. Is this you? Great news: Jez got over it, and so can you.
In this class, we will talk about the functions slowness and stillness can serve in live performance. Jezebel will offer some strategies for creating and practicing slow movement, and we will discuss how to create slow burn choreography that intrigues audiences and holds their attention. We will do some light physical movement to explore which slow burn aspects resonate most with us, and dance a short slow & sexy combo at the end of class so students have something to go home and practice with. This is an all-levels class, and anyone who is interested in learning a new appreciation for slow & sexy movement is welcome. Just wear clothes you can move in, and if you’d like to practice moving slowly in heels, bring those along too!
