Blindfolded Ballroom RESCHEDULED: November 15, 12:30-1:30pm

[Reposted with a confirmed and settled date!]

Hey! Want to be a guinea pig for a dance-and-sense-based experiment? Join me and dilletante for a Blindfolded Ballroom workshop. It's just what it sounds like, and we've never done it before, so it will be a learning experience for everyone. If it's successful (which is to say, if it's interesting), we'll almost certainly do another, but it's too soon to make promises.

You don't need ballroom experience, just a willingness to play in your body and experiment with a partner in a dance context. You don't need to bring a partner; we'll probably be switching people up over the course of the workshop.

This will be November 15, 12:30-1:30 PM in studio 1 at the Dance Complex in Cambridge. RSVPs would be greatly appreciated, and if you have ballroom experience, a note about that in your RSVP may help us in our planning. (You don't have to RSVP to both of us, though you're welcome to.)

Yay!

Sounds like fun! I should be able to be there... I probably count as having pretty much zero ballroom experience (despite one high school gym class devoted to ballroom dance).

What address should I RSVP to?

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

Here is fine! Or rosa at churchofgravity dot net.

I should be able to make that!

I'm in!

And, I have absolutely no ballroom dance experience.

someone is going to lose a tooth. Will this be YouTubed?

Don't get me wrong, it sounds cool. But dangerous.

well, our theory was that only one person out of each pair would be blindfolded. most likely the follower. :)

we might play with that! but not at first.

anyway there was a request for no video, so, no video.

[dan4th (from livejournal.com)]

ah! That seems much safer, although I'm now tempted to argue with "it's just what it sounds like".

Then again, I'm an argumentative fellow.

You could blindfold the videocamera, and... um... never mind.

[bluegargantua]

Uh...yeah, count me in as a yes for this.

I have pretty much zero ballroom dance experience.

I'm intrigued. Just how little ballroom experience can one get away with?

Please post at least a writeup of the experiment, since you won't be recording it, for those of us living in a geographically inconvenient location. I'd love to take part in it otherwise!

So in & so excited for it! My lovely husband would like to join, as well.
I took a ballroom dance class once in high school, and went to a swing dance or two 5 years ago.

No ballroom dance xp, but I will be there nonetheless.
