TBOFSS (TinkerBal Overflow Shuffle Shops) with Nelle Cherry (October 2018)
TinkerBal (our small-groups workshop weekend) is, shall we delicately say, oversubscribed. There’s a wait list. And the wait list stresses everybody out, especially people who want to attend the weekend with a friend or spouse. So we’re trying something new this year, and introducing TBOFSS: TinkerBal Overflow Shuffle Shops!
TBOFSS (pronounced tee-boffs) will feature Boston’s own Nelle Cherry, teaching two independent 75-min sessions on the Sunday of TinkerBal, plus a practice time in between. These sessions will be held at Dance Complex, just two blocks from the TinkerBal venue.
Both sessions will focus on how to facilitate a balanced communication in both directions within the partnership. One session will consider macro movements (momentum mechanics), and the other will consider micro movements (rhythmic communication mechanics). Students may register for one or both sessions. Each session will cost $25; practice time in between is included with each registration.
Sessions will be capped at 10-12 students – we may adjust slightly to maintain adequate role balance.
TBOFSS are open to anyone who has learned the basic figures of Balboa previously. If you’re waitlisted for TinkerBal itself, we encourage you to sign up for one or both of these TBOFSS! If you do get in off the waitlist, we’ll transfer your TBOFSS payment to your TinkerBal fee, and charge you for the remaining difference. And if you don’t get off that waitlist after all, you get sweet small-group TBOFSS time with Nelle, plus all the social dancing and Boston-in-fall goodness the rest of the weekend offers!
Macro movements session: 12 noon – 1:15pm
Micro movements session: 2:45pm – 4pm
practice time/lunch break: 1:15pm – 2:45pm
