Kate Ford currently competes, teaches, and judges nationwide. She
returns to the East Coast to teach West Coast Swing workshops, judging
seminars, Motion Study classes, along with a variety of other
specialized movement and dance classes along with private lessons in the
Boston area frequently.
One popular class is her Motion Study class which she says:
The Motion Study class, more than anything else, will help your
dancing, balance, musical interpreation and control. The purpose of the class
is to work on isolating areas and elements that enhance your individual
dancing. It frees the dancer to discover their creativity without the
pressure of worrying about a partner. Once you begin to discipline and
realize your own dance potential, it is easier to build a successful dance
relationship with a partner. For advanced dancer and beginners alike, it is
a foundation for all syncopations, for styling, and body control in any type
of dance.
