Bobby Style II - with Zils on!

Not Bobby's actual style, but a class structured much as his classes were back in the 70s.And this time, we're adding zils!

What made Bobby's classes special?

Interleaving and varied practice. Rather than sticking with one thing until we got it, you keep the brain always reaching. You do different things so the brain never knows what to expect. You cycle through things randomly so they are different every time.

Bobby never repeated. Never. Every single time, he did something completely different: combinations, ideas, music, everything--including zils.

Because we constantly re-encountered moves we knew conjoined in new ways and with moves we didn’t, we continuously re-contextualized every move. This sort of constellation-making is another facet of high-level learning, as we encountered the familiar and the unfamiliar in multiple frameworks, different combos with different transitions to different music.

NOTE: This is NOT a class to learn zils. For that, see Ziltastic. This IS a class to USE zils. You can also NOT use them. Zils are completely OPTIONAL. We will use zils only with our across the floor combos (10-15 mins). We will highlight classic steps--and add zils to them.

Feel free to simply do the combination without the zils, or play air zils if you like.

What will we do?

* Across the floor traveling steps and combos WITH (optional) ZILS (all participant zils will be muted. ONLY instructor zils will be audible).
* Learn weekly combinations composed on the spot (different every time)
* Follow-me and open dance time, as with all our themes
* Develop personal expression and style

Bobby's approach is invaluable for developing intuitive movement and confidence. Read more about Bobby's work here and here
