Zomerstage Folk & Tango met Laure Fourest & Koen Dhondt

 
De volledige informatie is beschikbaar in het Frans en het Engels. Sommige onderdelen hebben we ook in het Nederlands vertaald.
 
 
Na het grote succes van de vorige edities geven Laure Fourest en Koen Dhondt een volledige week dansworkshop op Domaine La Terriade, een verborgen paradijs in een klein dorpje in de regio Diois in Frankrijk. Bereid je voor op een geweldig week vol plezier, bijleren, lachen, mensen ontmoeten, lekker eten, zon, sauna, en veel dansen!
 

 

 

Program

Approximately 5 hours of dance classes per day, alternating between folk couple dancing (50% of classes), Argentine tango (25%) and traditional dances (25%).
One morning and one afternoon will be free to relax, go hiking and explore the surrounding area. Each morning will start with 30 minutes of gentle warm-up (stretching, simple yoga, massages, etc.).

Important : The main aim of the tango classes on offer is to fine-tune your body skills in folk couple dancing (finesse, subtlety, precision of posture and connection), not to turn you into tango dancers.

This week's workshop aims to provide you with all kinds of tools and experiences to enrich your way of dancing, mainly in couple dances, but also in some trad dances. 

  • Further refine your body awareness to gain greater freedom, precision and comfort 
  • Deepen your knowledge of each of the couple dances and learn to give depth to your dance by adapting it to their specificities
  • Develop your ability to guide and/or follow, and apply it to new variations
  • Refine your musical listening skills and expand your rhythmic vocabulary
  • Work on your ability to improvise while doing justice to the specific tastes of each dance
  • Explore the specific movements and body styles of some traditional dances

 

The folk couple dance classes will be taught by Laure and Koen together. Laure will teach tango and Koen will teach trad dance. Each of them will bring their own specialities to the teaching: 

  • Laure: improvisation possibilities, body and posture work in couple dancing, Argentine tango (at the service of folk dances), musicality, anatomy for movement, and morning body warm-ups. 
  • Koen: dances from the South West & Centre of France, improvisation, musicality & rhythmical variations in couple dances, …
  • All participants will benefit from an individual feedback session of around 10 minutes with one of the teachers, on a subject of their own choice.

A part of the programme will be fixed on the spot according to the proposals, preferences and/or needs of the participants. Laure and Koen will give individual suggestions and corrections, so that everyone progresses.
 


Other activities

  • A folk bal with ? & DJ Koen, open for external dansers. Reservation necessary. (only if enough workshop participants)
  • Practica – a folk ball with recorded music – on almost all other evenings

Taal

De stage zal in het Frans gegeven worden, met af en toe korte vertalingen van de essentie indien nodig. Koen en Laure zijn vlot meertalig, dus de individuele correcties krijg je zeker in de taal van jouw keuze.

NIVEAU

Stage voor gevorderde folkdansers, en voor halfgevorderde dansers die een goede leersnelheid hebben. Laure en Koen zijn het gewoon om te diversifiëren tijdens hun stages zodat iedereen kan bijleren, zelfs in een heterogene groep.

Je moet de basispas van de wals vlot beheersen, vertrouwd zijn met leiden en/of volgen, en liefst ook openstaan om van rol te wisselen. 

We gaan ervan uit dat je ongeveer 2 jaar intensieve danservaring -met lessen en stages- nodig hebt om dit niveau te bereiken. Die ervaring kan je eventueel deels opgedaan hebben in andere koppeldansen (tango, salsa, forró, … ). 

Geen eerdere tango ervaring is vereist, want voor de tangolessen voorzien -indien nodig- we een beginnersgroep en een groep voor halfgevorderden.

Danspartner

Je moet je niet samen met een danspartner inschrijven voor deze stage. Er wordt regelmatig van partner gewisseld. Je kan dus alleen inschrijven, per twee, met vrienden…
