Introducing Sunday & John Sunday Thompson When Sunday’s mum put her into a ballet class as a child, she never wanted to leave or take her ballet shoes off! Her earliest dance memory is of her first dance concert, where she forgot what to do so she stood still, put her finger in her mouth and looked at the ground. Sunday studied danced throughout her life, completing an Associate Degree at the Queensland Dance School of Excellence, BA in Dance at QUT, and travelling to to study dance on a scholarship. Sunday has been a founding member of Oddysey Dance Theatre, a member of Expressions Dance Company, and was invited to join the Australian Theatre Ballet as Principal Dancer. For the last two years Sunday has freelanced throughout “As a dancer you want to learn as much as your body can absorb. Traveling the world plays a big part in perfecting what you already have.” Sunday has traveled to “My Motto is: Dance with everything you have!” John Hawkins John has always enjoyed dancing. As a teenager he was obsessed with break dancing and spent hours popping, locking and practicing back spins on a piece of card board in his football tracksuit. It paid off when, after being told to start break dancing at a school dance by some older boys, a girl dragged him off for his first “close” dance. John made the decision to learn Latin dance after seeing couples dancing Salsa several years ago, and got the opportunity to “take the plunge” shortly after that with a friend. Salsa on 2 - Tune Up on December 14th
The workshop for this Session is Salsa "On 2" The music we dance to is counted in two four-beat measures (4/4 time). A "break step" is the step that you change the direction of your momentum. When your break step falls on the second and sixth beat of the music, then you are dancing "On2". Here are a couple of things respected Salsa instructors have said about On2 Salsa. "On 2 keeps the roots of the dance since it matches very well with the percussion (clave and tumbao) and also has room for improvisation." Norberto 'Betto' Herrera of Mambo Dinamico "I love the music that the On 2 dancers like to groove to," Ashley 'Angel' McKenna of Cosalda Dance Company. “Great jazzy instrumentals, medium tempo music that you can play with, and you don’t feel like you've run a 4 minute race”. Come along and give it a go! You are going to love it! In the New Format... each Tune Up Dance Session includes a one hour Workshop in two levels (Beginner and Intermediate+), followed by over two hours of social practice time.
