Why Spontaneity Comes from Following the Rules

by Shay | posted in: musings, training | 2

Over at Lateral Action, there is an interesting (& rather deep) post regarding a conversation between Brian Eno and the developer of Sim City, and the application of rules bringing about successful spontaneity.

Student Reviews

Many of us attended your workshop, and took more than dance technique away. Your open and inviting attitude towards dance has become an essential part of our philosophy of dance. It is a wonderful gift that we will never be able to thank you enough. Read More

And you added something I haven’t seen in a… Read More

Excellent Teacher With Awesome Hair I’ve been dancing with Sharon since 2002 or so and can’t say enough good things about her tribal classes: the solid foundation in dance basics and the dedication to breaking steps down in a comprehensible and meaningful way were what caught me–in that I felt like I was actually building a skill set as opposed to just swanning around in a coin… Read More

Chiara - (TeachStreet)

You, my dear, are a wonderful teacher, and selfless treasure! Read More
