Level 2: Gender Bender |

A really fun class with lots of laughs....but also lots to learn! The reason behind a class like this is to make you think about your own dancing. - Am I too heavy as a Follow? - Are my leads strong & concise enough? - Am I actually following, or am I anticipating? - Am I man-handling my Follow? Hopefully you left class with a greater understanding of Swing dancing, and a few things to put into practice next time you hit the floor! |
