Teachers


We are super-excited to be hosting our favourite teachers- the awesome Emma and Zac from Le-Step on the Gold Coast.

Weekend Format (Tentative schedule - but unlikely to change)


Friday Night


6.00 - 6.30 Doors open for early registrations.

6.30 - 7.00 Ballroom closed during final set-up.

7.00 - Doors open for registrations and bar open.

7.30 - The night kicks off with a Coach's Corner Workshop  to ease into the weekend. A shared learning experience for all attendees, with the rest of the weekend to put into practice what you learn. Always a favourite! Please advise if you would like to participate when you register for the weekend.


Following the Coach's Corner workshop we have our dance card ice-breaker with prizes - always a popular way to transition into social dancing, which runs until midnight.


Saturday Workshops


Emma and Zac


Cool new material catered specifically to Sea Breeze participants. Workshops will build progressively.


10.30 - 11.45 Workshop 1


BUILDING BLOCKS


Co-ordinated with Adrian & Bec on their intensive workshop, we’re going to build upon that sequence with a focus on quality movement for leaders and followers and understanding the dynamic of individual dance needs. Get used to how we work and we’ll get you levelling up for the rest of the weekend.


11.45 - 12.45 Lunch Break (Eateries and bar on site). Flexibility to extend lunch time period if needed.


12.45 - 2.00 Workshop 2


LET’S GET CREATIVE


Now we’re in control of our bodies and understand the needs of our partners, trust us as we teach you how to develop a sense of adventure within the original pattern and learn how to communicate intent with our partner.


2.15 - 3.30 Workshop 3


TURN IT ON


Now that you’re listening to each other, let’s get jiggy with it. That newfound (or developing) skill for communication will assist us as we create a whole new dynamic to your recent intensive sequence. Wait whaaaaaat?


3.30 - 6.30pm Chill time


Formal Ball


Doors open 6.30pm, meals served at 7.00pm, with a 15 minute social intermission after dessert to perhaps enjoy your favourite cocktail overlooking the lake from our private courtyard, let the food settle and allow those who want to change clothes/shoes to do so.  We anticipate social dancing will commence round 8.30pm and go through until midnight..

Emma and Zac


Sleep in, relax, perhaps enjoy a lazy long breaky, or explore the waterfront or nearby beaches.


11 - 12.15 Workshop 1


AIR DANCE


New day – totally new concepts. We’re about to level up. This morning we’ll be showing you advanced concepts to understand projection and leverage while conserving your energy. Ideal for the first workshop of the day so don’t miss it. 


12.30 - 1.45  Workshop 2


ADVENTURE WORLD


This time we’re dancing with a sense of fun & adventure. Be willing to go for it - knowing that it’s a calculated risk and always with a back-up plan! 

1.45 - 2.45  Lunch Break (Eateries and bar on site). Flexibility to extend lunch time period if needed.


2.45 - 4.00 Workshop 3


SIN OR SPIN


Time to focus on something we all need to do - controlled spinning within leadable movements for leaders and followers. The how, why, when and where of revolutions without spoiling the flow.


Time to relax and unwind


Tentative plan after Workshop 3 is to have a small break and then meet upstairs on the Lake-side deck for pre-dinner drinks, around 4.30pm. There is a DJ from 2pm-6pm. Dinner at 6pm.


All workshops and both social dancing nights are hosted in the Foreshore Ballroom, featuring 200 square metres of subtle Hampton's style polished timber flooring, floor-to-ceiling glass bi-fold doors and a private courtyard overlooking the lake.
