Swing Dance Workshop

Movement & Dance Workshop with guest artist Billy Siegenfeld - Swing Dance Workshop explores swing dance through the lens of Standing Down Straight®—finding power in relaxation and letting gravity do the work. Instead of applying muscular force, we’ll practice: releasing unnecessary tension, organizing around the skeleton, and allowing movement to happen with less effort and more ease. Dancers and non-dancers alike are welcome in this workshop to learn simple swing rhythms and partner movement while applying gravity-directed alignment, shared momentum, and efficient use of energy. Through partner and group exercises, we’ll discover how Standing Down Straight® makes swing dancing feel more sustainable, connected, and joyful. 


Take both workshops, Standing Down Straight and Swing Dance Workshop for $50. More info on the Actors' Theatre Workshops page.
