“Anatomy of a Step.
In June of 2011 we will shoot the next instructional DVD, to be released in the Fall. It will be titled Anatomy of a Step. We’ll introduce you to the new work that we are doing as well as that of guest artists. The theme of this DVD will be to introduce you to the process of creating steps and variations. But for now, use this formula: the posture does not change. The ATS Old School steps remain the core. The result of a new step reinforces the aesthetic of uplifted arms and joyful display of the body. The step conveys happiness. Any cues should be brief and logical, the more “rules” you have to add, the less successful the step will be. The principals of non-verbal communication govern all cues and formations.
I think that if you follow these suggestions you will have success, and I hope find more depth in the dance.
My friends, enjoy the dance. And phone home every now and then.
Best wishes,
Carolena”

About me
My name is Erin and I am living in Columbia, MO working full-time at the public library. This blog focuses on two aspects of my life involving dance and history. Of course, other things keep my interest. Those include: my family, friends, anime, singing, body painting (appreciating the arts in general), candles, yoga, make-up, poetry, daydreaming, and of course finding love.
