Both together: switching between the layers instead of choosing one.
Rhythm and melody are not opposites — the art lies in the change. An orchestra offers both at once, and in the dance you can choose which layer to follow.
This workshop builds on W1 and W2 and practises switching on purpose: rhythmic where the music drives, melodic where it sings. It is exactly this change that keeps a dance exciting for three minutes.
What you take home
A feeling for when which layer carries — and the freedom to wander between them within one piece.
About Joaquín Amenábar
Joaquín Amenábar's workshops teach no steps and no figures. He works with listening, movement and intuition, plays his musical examples live on the bandoneon and does without musical jargon. No musical knowledge is needed — the exercises are designed so that everyone can work on them at their own level of dancing. The workshops are taught in German.
