You'll begin with posture and the tribal spirit, learn basic steps and begin to put them together in group improvisation. This workshop is appropriate to dancers at any level, and is designed as a way to start ATS study. Posture, attention, leading & following, core movements, cueing, formations & leader/follower change are on the agenda.
