Dance Retreat Questionnaire
Please e-mail responses to Mihai and call (415.734.0129) with any questions. Also read the agreements page.
- What would you like to teach? Classes can be directed (lecture & practice type) or non-directed (experimental, discussion-type). Most people feel it would be a waste to teach something they already have a handle on, and instead choose to focus on new, cutting-edge ideas that they haven't quite worked out yet, so they can get feedback on it.
- What would you like to learn, or see taught? Feel free to think way outside the box; past classes have included ice skating and acrobatics, as well as an open discussion on the blues body, paying attention to your class while teaching, etc.
- What are your fears or concerns about the retreat?
- What are your hopes and expectations for the retreat? What are you most looking forward to?
- Who do you think would be great for this retreat? Whom should we invite? We're looking for great dancers who are either committed to blues or committed to another dance form and seriously interested in blues, who have an open mind and play well with others.
- Housing Logistics
- What's the lowest level of housing comfort you can deal with — bed, futon, couch, air mattress, foam pad, floor?
- Are you allergic to cats and dogs? How allergic?
- What are your food restrictions and allergies?
- Travel restrictions
- When can you most easily take four full days off? Give me your ideal week-ends, any time in 2007.
- Do you prefer weekdays (starting M on Tu), or two week-end days plus two more (starting Th, F or Sa)?
- Do you prefer to drive and save money, or fly and save time? Obviously, driving restricts your choice of locations.
- What cities do you love and would like to visit anyway?
