5:00pm - Powerful Partnering: How to connect better with anyone
Level: Adv Beg
Communication is crucial in daily life, and no less so in partner dance. In this class we will discuss 3 major ways we communicate in dance, how they impact the dance experience, and how to communicate more effectively. Included in this course are fundamental connection concepts which, if you have already learned, are important to frequently review, and if you haven't, will improve your dance immensely.

6:00pm - Creating Space for Creative Dancing
Level: Adv Beg
Finding time and space to express yourself while you're dancing can be very challenging, especially when you're trying to remember the movements, traverse the subtleties of connection and still stay on the beat. We will show you a simple push break variation that will give you better connection sooner and allow you space to play. If you don't think you're a creative type, don't worry, we'll show you a footwork variation or two so you can play in class and beyond!

More About Jerome and Bonnie Subey
Bonnie and Jerome met on the dance floor, and from their first contact, the passion was apparent. Even though they come from different countries (with different languages!) and different dance backgrounds, their dance styles complete one another, giving Jerome and Bonnie a specific style entirely their own. Their complementarity as a couple brings out the passion they have for dancing, teaching, and always wanting to improve.
Jerome Subey
Jerome has been dancing since he was 3 years old, starting with ballet for two years. Then he did Hip Hop for over 10 years. At 19 he started his first couples dance, Rock'n'Roll, followed by Boogie and Lindy Hop, before going to West Coast Swing in 2008. In order to provide quality lessons he trained to teach WCS Duodanse in France. Then he spent one year in Montreal to continue educating himself with professional American dancers and to compete. By the end of only 1 year of competition he went from Novice to All-star level and received two PDIA teaching diplomas.
Bonnie Subey
Bonnie started West Coast Swing dancing at 14 and hasn't looked back. Prior to that, she did a little gymnastics and some bellydance, which gave her a unique foundation for West Coast. Since falling in love with West Coast Swing, Bonnie has dabbled in Salsa, Blues, Lindy, Balboa, Hip Hop, Bachata, and what little Modern she learned in an intro college class, as well as trying to follow anything anyone tried to throw at her. Bonnie's versatility, musicality and strength make her a formidable dancer, but her patience, understanding and experience make her an excellent teacher.
