[Eunbi Goes #2] Three Top Fighters Born From Jack & Jill Powerhouse Sensual Lab! What Are They Even Teaching?? 😎

“With Jack & Jill, what matters is chopping the music up a lot to bring out an instrument or a hook — how you can break the music down and listen to it, how you can bring it out using the structure of the music as your base. What to use in the intro, how to use it in the mambo section — having those sources became the foundation that lets me do Jack & Jill.”

Answering a question about how you analyze and use the music in Jack & Jill

“Learning Dominican bachata lately, I feel like I've developed some discernment, and Dominican musicality has become a bit more important to me.”

CONTEXTExplaining why the Dominican bachata classes helped his skills improve recently

“Even in Neumara bachata music, in spots like the mambo section, those Dominican patterns really came in handy — that's what made this class so good, I think.”

CONTEXTTalking about how Dominican bachata patterns carried over to other genres of music

“Learning how to express the instruments helped a lot. Even in class you can't cover every single song, and there's no guarantee only songs I know will come on — but when a certain rhythm section comes up, where before I could only use my hips, the more I learned the more I could use my shoulders too, my head too. That helped.”

“The instructors are musicians at their core, and they speak the language too, so they break down both the music and the lyrics of the bachata we're dancing to. That's the charm of it — you actually understand what you're dancing and why you're dancing it.”

Explaining what the Sensual Lab instructors' background in music and language brings to the class

“A trend gets started because people want to feel the music and enjoy it — so the instructors research how to dance to which musical element, at which point, in which way, and then pass that on to us.”

CONTEXTExplaining that the class format is built on researching and teaching dance expression element by element
