SUMMARY:Heels Performance Experience with Carolyn McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:This experience is for heels dancers of all levels who want to become a more embodied and intentional performer. Inside the experience dancers access 5.25 hours of instruction including curriculum geared to progress technique and performance skills\, new original choreography\, individual feedback and coaching\, and a professionally filmed video. With exercises to deepen dancers’ connection to the music and reflect on emotional storytelling\, ultimately dancers explore what makes movement feel authentic in their bodies. \nCost:$185 for the full experience (early bird pricing $165 from 6/30 – 7/3) \nREGISTER HERE\n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nHeels dance has become increasingly popular over the last 5-10 years and while it’s a genre with it’s own technique\, it’s largely informed by historic genres. Heels as a convergence of many lineages from the Latin/Ballroom scenes to burlesque to 1970s/1980s underground LGBTQ+ clubs. Similar to how jazz evolved from more social contexts to stage-presenting spectacles\, heels has also taken on a widely commercial expression with major artists like Beyonce performing heels dancing from leading heels choreographers like Aisha Francis. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\n\n\n\n\nAs a dancer for 30 years\, I received classical training in my youth\, competed into high school\, and received a BA in dance alongside recognition for “Outstanding Performance and Choreography.” In the classroom\, I combine 20 years experience of teaching diverse ages\, abilities\, & backgrounds with my curriculum development knowledge to guide students toward their greatest potential. I create supportive learning environments that honor students’ unique strengths\, needs\, and learning styles while maintaining rigor because I believe that technical training supports artistry. \n\n\n\n\nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI experienced transformation when I started training in the style and want to do the same for others. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nInstagram: @carolynmacc \nContact Information\nContact Carolyn:\ncarolyn.m.mcc@gmail.com\, @carolynmacc on Instagram
