"Video Abend" + Dinner

The weekend is close and we have a suggestion for this cold sunday:    

Video evening + dinner

where: @ the Atelier Rembrandthaus (Rembrandtstr. 8 S-Friedenau)
 

when: Sunday 29. 18:00 (we´ll start on time)
 

what: 1. copyleft film "Sita sings the Blues"  

           (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zcTgyGpens&feature=related)
          2. dinner. The idea is that everybody brings something to

              eat to share with the others. (You don´t have 
              to worry about drinks. As you know, we have a bar with 

              different beers, bionade, club mate and wine.)

Looking forward to see you!

So, why Blues? by Theo

There are many, many styles of blues dancing, and they all vary by
region.  I learned to dance in Ohio and in New York had to adapt a
bit.  Blues dancing doesn´t depend on learning complex steps, and in
fact I started dancing it with no training whatsoever.  To learn you
actually have to dance, so I would like to give you the tools to do
this.  That being said, I would like to teach a class on blues dancing
to see how people like it, and then try to find somewhere to hold a
dance classes an events on a regular basis in a permanent location.

You can dance blues to most songs with a slow beat, trip-hop, hip-hop,
some rock (I even danced to an orchestral cover of a metallica song),
and of course, blues.  You can also incorporate different styles of
dancing into blues.  I like it for the untold creativity it offers,
you really dance with a connection in mind rather than with a set step
you learn in class.  Of course, I´ll teach you some moves, but the
main goal is to have fun!  All levels of experience welcome!

The cost for this course will be any kind of contribution as a sign for your gratitude.
