Workshop Musicality for dancers with Koen Dhondt


Syncopation, anacrusis, duplets, off-beat, staccato, improvisation, etc... Curious about these musical phenomena that are common in folk music? And ready to explore their impact on your dancing? Not afraid to (learn to) improvise on music? Then sign up for this intermediate & advanced dance workshop! No musical knowledge required.
 

Program

  • info & tips on understanding folk music : structure, rhythms, dances, styles, improvisations, differences...
  • listening exercises (which dance is this? and how can iI find out on my own next time? How can I predict musical elements)
  • leading & following
  • variations in connection with the music 
  • how to improvise your own variations in connection with the music, during the dance 
  • If there is time left: a bit of background on the difference between trad, folklore & folk.
