There are a lot of parallels between different dance techniques that people don't always notice : modulation of tone, detailed awareness in movement, precise play with timing and rhythm, and also performance presence. While uses of weight, timing, verticality and performance presence or attitude might differ between techniques. If a dancer is experienced in ballet/contemporary but not in House techniques, what might be a few things that are new for them in this class?The difference is definitely that our dance style must be understood as a "music-based interpretation". Techniques that are more common in music theory serve as the basis for our dance technique. Apart from dance skills, a basic understanding of specific grooves, intonations, directional intentions, and above all cultural context is taught here. This should then lead to a centric and reactive form of dance instead of a horizontal and linear technique.

2.The class is intended for dancers who already have professional experience, but they might be coming from different technical backgrounds. Could you mention some things they should they already be comfortable with?

Good basic requirements would be physical body understanding, the ability to isolate, spatial understanding and, most importantly, tact.

Danny Son stands as a beacon of Frankfurts house dance scene. As a co-founder of the House Roots community, he not only propels the national house dance movement but also garners international recognition as a revered mentor, teacher and active dancer. His presence at illustrious international dance festivals attests that Danny has woven himself into the fabric of international house dance culture. Since embarking on his dance journey in 2008, he has been profoundly influenced by Rabah Mahfoufi of Paris, one of Europe's elite house dancers, whose style is distinguished by its profound structure and sophisticated technique an approach that, according to Danny, deepened the essence of house dance. In 2021 Danny evolved from an artist expressing music through movement to a producer crafting music. With the support of his friend &former mentor, Kosmik Kat, he ventured into the depths of music and production. Since then, Danny has carved out a reputation as a DJ both in Germany and on the international stage, particularly in the house dance community.
