Workshops

What if we look at the dance as a dialogue between two people, rather than a one-way speech?

In this workshop we explore co-leading in couple dances: how both partners can actively listen, propose, respond and influence the dance. We'll play with the balance between initiative and receptivity, discovering how ideas can travel from one dancer to the other — sometimes without either of us knowing exactly where the dance will go. Through playful exercises we'll explore shared weight, connection, musicality and improvisation.

You'll learn to propose, provoke, support, redirect — and, most importantly, listen. We'll play with shifting initiative, shared decisions, unexpected responses, and the delicious uncertainty of not knowing who will take the dance somewhere next.

Designed for advanced dancers, this workshop skips the basic step and dives straight into refining your Scottish technique. We'll deconstruct the dance to understand its mechanics and push past the usual patterns, then add subtle, elegant nuances that bring more sophistication and dynamic expression to your posture and flow.

Finally we'll challenge your musicality with complex rhythmic variations that play with footwork and syncopation — sharper timing, and fresh freedom to bring detail and variety to the Scottish.
