Somer Surgit & Agape Pappas are teaching a 2 hour workshop on sacadas with changes of direction at dancemanhattan on saturday from 2-4. Somer and Agape's performances and classes have captivated students and onlookers alike across the United States, Canada and Europe. Their style fuses a variety of influences with their own interpretive skills, all emphasized by the type of mutual improvisation that comes from a deep connection between partners. This connection is reflected in a teaching style that emphasizes the importance of walking, balance, focus, musicality, and technique that involves leading with the heart in both close and open embrace. The result, as seen in their incendiary performances, is a style imbued with a deep understanding of technique, a willingness to take risks, and a palpable sense of joy.
