~ Part 1 ~ Sharp Moves for Snazzy Swordwork
A test for your balance, posture and core work. Christine and Maxine have a couple of spare swords for anyone who does not have their own. If you have a spare sword please bring it along. Tips: Do not wash your hair on the day of the workshop, alternatively using hairspray on your hair or candle wax on the sword can help stop the sword sliding off. We have ridges cut into the balance point on our swords so that we can find balance quickly which also helps to stop it from slipping about.
~ Part 2 ~ There's Nothing Like Timing
Musicality - Understanding which moves go well with which types of music and why. Then interpreting your music; using timing and phrasing to add drama to your performance.
