Through the years, Rapport has offered the opportunity to learn about sensuality and connection in a safe, fun, and social dance environment.  Perfect for new dancers and those that just want to have some fun!
Rapport staff will assist all workshop attendees with introductions to the post-launch party attendees. Â All workshop participants will be considered VIP guests if they plan to attend the party as well.
This workshop is designed to explore the depths of connection, confidence and comfort in partner dance and beyond.
Â
We will explore three levels of connection. Connection with the Self, the Partner, and the Moment/Music. We will use the traditions/music of tango, kizomba, and bachata to lead us through these 3 levels of connection.
Â
We then take the embrace to an art deepening the understanding of being powerful and vulnerable and learning to put out positive energy with a partner.
Â
Finally we will touch upon the concept of "flow" so we can get out of our heads and into the present moment. We will help you leave with the increased ability to improvise and feel at ease connecting on a deep level with any partner to any music.
Rapport staff members will be available to assist and help if needed. Â The staff at the Norwood will make sure drinks/small bites are available.

Bri has been teaching dance for the past 5 years and currently focuses on bachata with her dance partner, Leo.

Dan is pioneering the merging of Argentine Tango with personal development instruction. Originally trying tango as a hobby, he found it so powerful that he quickly devoted all of his energy into learning all he could of the technique, history and culture while training for competition. He trained his first partner and took 2nd place in the New York City Tango Championship only 6 months into dancing. Dan has since gone on to study with many masters in Argentina and has been teaching full time for the past 4 years. He currently focuses on using tango as a vehicle for personal growth, helping students build confidence, comfort and connections focusing on the embrace and customs inherent in the art.
