This is the mailing list for Free Body Studios, a dance studio in Boston that was founded by Gui Cavalcanti and Jenn Martinez. The studio is primarily focused on teaching the fundamental skills of improvisational partner dancing (drawing primarily from Blues dancing, and some from Lindy Hop), that can be danced to any expressive style of music. The studio does teach classic Blues dancing and Lindy Hop lessons, but the focus is always on building as solid a connection as possible within the dances, while instilling an ability in students to create their own movements and styles.

Free Body Studios teaches the core concepts of partnered dancing using fundamental physical principles such as the transfer of energy, the conservation of momentum, and torque minimization. That said, all classes are taught in language that anyone can understand - there is simply a deeper theory of partnered dancing underlying all of the lessons.

This mailing list will be used to announce classes and events around Boston that Free Body Studios is participating in. This is an open list that anyone who's interested in Blues dancing or Lindy Hop in the Boston area can join.
