A Long Time Ago... a story was told that sparked a fire in many hearts. To fan that flame, we have created the Golden Gate Knights, a San Francisco Bay Area group that offers experienced instruction in saber choreography. With our classes, you will become an expert at saber choreography, spins, flourishes and a whole lot more.
Class Activities
-
Stretching & Warm up
We begin each class with a simple warm-up, stretching, and calisthenic exercises to get ourselves limber and prevent any injuries. -
Flourishes
You will be taught how to do fancy lightsaber flourishes and spins. This includes forward and reverse spins, inverted grips, figure eights and a whole lot more! -
Choreography
The heart of the class. You will be taught Novastar's stage choreography system. We will start with basic moves which can be linked together to form dazzling sequences. We will also be teaching film and stage techniques so that your sequences will look great in either medium. -
Meditation
Our training is internal as well as external. To get us all in the best mental state, we perform a 5 minute meditation right before class ends.
Time
Every Sunday from noon to 3:00 pm.
Location
Studio Garcia, home of LevyDance. Located at 19 Heron Street, Studio Garcia is conveniently located down the street from the Civic Center BART station, and is just a short walk from the Bayshore Caltrain station.
Cost
$10-15 sliding scale per class.
Age Requirements
No one is too old to begin the training. However, due to insurance and liability reasons you must be 17 years of age or older to attend our classes. If you are under 17, contact us and we can refer you to other instructors.
Clothes
All that you will need to bring is work-out clothes, though feel free to come in costume. Just make sure that you are wearing clothes you feel comfortable exercising in.
Sabers
A saber will be provided for free during the first month of your training. After that, sabers can be rented for $5 per class. Feel free to bring you own saber but practice caution. Saber blades have different strengths so pairing up your blades against ours might not be good. If your blades use a LED strip such as those found in Force FX sabers, it is not wise to use them for practice. The LEDs in strips have a tendency to get knocked out over a period of time thereby producing dead spots in the blade.
Contact us if you have any questions or concerns about bringing your saber.
