General feelings of happiness
Movers and Shakers performers become the academy's "elite" core.
They build a strong sense of belonging and are proud ambassadors.
Through the physical challenge, fun, shared purpose, and shows together, you’ll form a special bond and friendships that may last a life time.
Movers and Shakers also has a strict “no drama” and “total support” policy.
This keeps the team focused on positive reinforcement and encouragement.
THE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE
.jpg)
Salsa / Bachata festivals, also known as "congresses," are big weekend dance events at hotels that often attract thousands of dancers from all over the world.
Festivals host pool parties, performances, hours upon hours of dance workshops, and social dancing all night until the sun comes up.
Going solo, it's easy to feel lost at these congresses. As a Movers and Shakers performer though, you will feel right at home having your entire Movers and Shakers family with you. You'll have teammates to go to meals with, attend workshops with, and have fun with!
DURATION
4.5 months. July through end of November. (Equal to about 2 regular Movers and Shakers programs)
MISSED REHEARSALS
Life happens. We understand.
Most team members will have to miss some rehearsal. Just prioritize rehearsal and always be there when possible.
Missed rehearsals are not pro-rated.
If you'd like to join and must miss a large block of time, contact us to explore what's possible.
PRACTICE WITH TEAMMATES
Mandatory: minimum 2 hours per week with at least 1 teammate outside of regular team rehearsal.
You may arrange your own schedules.
These practices help ensure the team makes steady progress. They are also fun and great for team bonding.
EXTRA PRACTICE
Occasionally, at the head instructor's discretion, an extra practice may be scheduled for the team with an instructor to help the team prepare for shows.
The instructor will also lead the team in practices at dance festivals before shows.
PRACTICE SOLO
10-20 minutes per day (just 5 days per week).
Exercises will be given for:
-
Visualization (to learn choreography faster)
-
Spinning
-
Stretching
PERFORMANCES
You will have the opportunity to perform in approximately 8 shows in Los Angeles, including 2 salsa/bachata festivals.
You may perform when you are ready. Not every dancer needs to perform in every show.
If you must miss some shows, that's fine. You'll be given several show opportunities throughout the year.
