Connecting with Dance; a Zouk-Lambada Journey w James Quinn-Hawtin


Connection is a magical ingredient in a partner dance. Without connection, a dance will be bland and tasteless. Connection is vital for that special romantic oomph in partner dances. Bachateros are strongly recommended to take this workshop as well.

RI Dance Academy will be hosting a 2-Part Workshop by James Quinn-Hawtin from Brisbane, Australia who will share this connection for dance. James started jazz training as a child and he now specialises in Zouk-Lambada. Attached on our website is his latest performance at Brazil Central Zouk Lambada Congress 2010.

Don't miss this journey through dance and learn new techniques that elevates your dance experience to a whole new level. Great connection with your dance partner will not only enhance the way you dance but also heightens your lead/follow skill in any partner dances. This is truly the workshop to join in 2011!
