Foundations workshops are taught over 3-hours, catered to new and novice students with time for Q&A, video viewing and other supplementary material.

Taught by @SydneyTutting

Overview

Tutting is a dance style that is based on creating different shapes, lines, angles & patterns, originally inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics. The amount of things that can be created using this style is only limited by one's imagination and creativity, and Tutting today draws inspiration from many different sources and with many different approaches.

This workshop aims to teach the foundational tools and concepts of Tutting to allow students to establish their basics and work towards freestyle and creative use of the style. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning or improving their Tutting, including beginners or those new to the style.
