Brenda Russell's Workshops

Brenda Russell, based in Portland, Oregon (USA), is fulfilling her childhood dream as a professional dancer and instructor. Brenda’s early dance training included about 30 dance styles and she has studied musical history and theory, dance history, dance instruction and the physical aspect of dancing, adding to her knowledge of the body, dance, music, and teaching. Brenda continues to study and train with coaches, historians, and practitioners, always striving to increase her understanding and ability.

Brenda has put tons of energy into Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, West Coast Swing, and Salsa communities and believes we are all born with dance in our bodies, and that each of us can use this activity as a means for personal expression, connecting with others, and exercise. Brenda loves the image of being able to dance anytime, anywhere, to any music, alone, or with anyone. She spends her time living this dream for herself while assisting her students in accomplishing their personal dance goals.

Brenda will be holding a series of workshops in Beijing during the weekend of May 15-16. There will be a little something for everyone with some Lindy Hop, Blues, Balboa and a special TWO PART Jazz Routine, one of Brenda's specialties. Workshops are always a treat for us and Brenda comes by special recommendation by our own Adam Lee.

Brenda Russell的舞蹈讲座

来自美国西北部的波特兰市,Brenda Russell是一位专业舞蹈老师,并以此事件他童年的梦想。Brenda当初的舞蹈教育包含30多种舞种,而她还专门攻读乐史及乐理、舞蹈历史、舞蹈教育以及舞蹈与身体交流方面的研究,由此丰富她对身体、舞蹈、音乐和教学之间的关系的认识与知识。Brenda目前还继续与教练、乐史家和表演家进行角力为了更加丰富她自身的能力和知识。

Brenda还投入不少精力在发展包括林迪舞、巴尔博雅、蓝调、西岸摇摆舞以及萨尔萨圈子,并坚信我们每一个人一生下来就有一种舞蹈的元素在我们的身体里,并能够以此实现自我的绽放、与周围的人交流以及健身作用。Brenda非常喜欢能随时随地随乐就能跳起来的景象,不管跟别人跳舞或者一个人享乐于此。她这个梦想已经实践与她的生活,而现在她努力于协助她的学生实现他们自己的舞蹈学习的目标。

Brenda即将在北京展开一些列的舞蹈培训班,时间已定在本月15-16日。这一系列将包括林迪舞、蓝调、巴尔博雅以及Brenda最拿手的爵士Routine(两个部分!!) 有老师来中国来北京总是一个很可喜的事情,而这位优秀老师还享有我们自家创始人和老师Adam的高度推荐。
