Dance repertoire needs to adapt for grass or pavement.
And suggestions need to be made during teaching and during walk through re how to adapt for grass or pavement.

Re grass ... go outside and try to waltz with a friend on grass!
Then try to swing ... and spin out of something ... etc.
Lots of adaptation needed.

Re pavement ... again, check for that surface's resistance to twisting the foot.
Also check for how hard the surface is. Asphalt is softer than concrete.

Dance repertoire

Promotion, including language to help welcome in non-dancers

Hydration that doesn't involve single-use plastic bottles from aquifer- draining profiteers (ooops, crankpot editorializing...)

Add-ons

We're working with our parks & rec director and other local groups to produce a series this summer. Would love any 'hot tips" from the hive.
