What This Workshop Offers:

Lead: The Lead is the driver, steering the dance with creative movements and thoughtful sequencing, inviting the Follow into each step with care and attention.
Follow: The Follow remains present, responsive, and balanced, seamlessly adapting to the Lead's movements while maintaining a solid connection.
Diverse Dance Focus
