Bachata performed by Małgosia and Szymon is an innovative approach to movement, emotions, and music. This instructor duo bases their teaching methodology on 8 key pillars of dance, making their instruction comprehensive and effective.
Communication – This is the foundation without which leading and following in dance would not be possible. Małgosia and Szymon emphasize the development of effective communication between partners, ensuring that dance becomes more than just a sequence of learned figures.
Connection – This element transforms the dance of two individuals into a dialogue between dancers. The instructors place great importance on building a strong connection, which gives dance a deeper meaning and emotional dimension.
Technique – Knowledge of technique is crucial for conscious movement. Małgosia and Szymon support their students in developing movement awareness, improving lead clarity, following precision, and ensuring safety for both the leader and the follower.
Body Movement – This pillar of dance experience enhances body awareness, improves understanding of movement flow, and increases control over it. The instructors teach how to effectively integrate body movement elements, creating harmony between partners.
Musicality – Developed musicality allows dancers to better hear the rhythm and melody, interpret sounds, and respond to changes in the music. This enables students to express themselves in dance with passion and a deep understanding of the music.
Footwork – Excellent agility, speed of movement, and control over body balance are the results of meticulous footwork training. Małgosia and Szymon encourage their students to practice these movement patterns, making the dance more dynamic and rich in musical details.
Styling – This element gives dance its unique character. Through styling, dance becomes not only visually captivating but also elegant and refined. Every movement is carefully executed, creating a distinctive dance form. Małgosia and Szymon focus on developing these skills in their students, enhancing their fluidity and elegance in dance.
Choreography – This is the seamless integration of all the previous dance pillars into a harmonious whole. Creating choreography requires not only strong communication and connection between partners but also excellent bachata technique, full control of body movement, an acute sense of motion, and musical sensitivity. Additionally, choreography incorporates diverse footwork elements along with sophisticated and refined styling. Each aspect of the choreography is thoughtfully designed to integrate the mind, body, and energy, fully expressing and interpreting the emotions of the music through dance.
All these pillars form Małgosia and Szymon’s unique approach to teaching bachata, shaping not just well-trained dancers but passionate individuals who deeply understand and truly enjoy the art of dance.
