Fusion Dance Gent @ kiosk with teacher + DJ Max Kahan !

À propos de cet événement

✨ Excited to welcome teacher & DJ Max Kahan from Bristol! 💃🕺 (One of the best fusion dancers I've danced with!)

Class topic : Using stretch & compression within micro dancing

In MICRO DANCING you connect deeply to your partner & the music through small, precise movements.


MAX KAHAN

Max has spent twelve years immersed in the partner dance world: lindy hop first, then blues, salsa, bachata, the kizomba family (where he's gone deepest), tango, forró, contact improv and most recently zouk. Since he discovered fusion in California in 2016, it's been his favourite way to move, and he's now taught it in four countries.
In class, he loves two things: breaking movement down to the atomic level, and more jokes than strictly necessary.
