Club Etiquette Workshop
Club Etiquette Workshop (House Dance Edition) is produced by Kut The Rug Institute with support from Cricket & Hu Rock.
Club Etiquette Workshop is a 3 hour masterclass that highlights two unique approaches to observing, studying and connecting to movement, music and the collective vibe at House Music parties and clubs. Club Etiquette Workshop is divided into three parts; two conversations that will be moderated by Shango “Jungle” Bartley and a question & answer period. The subject of the conversations are the lists (Dance Etiquette List & House Rules) that House Dance veterans Louis “Loose” Kee and Ejoe Wilson created to archive and share information about the art of the party. The first conversation between Jungle and Loose, will highlight the insights in Loose’s Dance Etiquette List. The second conversation between Ejoe and Jungle will explore the spirit of Ejoe’s House Rules.
