Description

This course includes a series of full online follow-along classes with a lot of detail to details and technique.

It is composed of two main units: Footwork & Turns and Body & Head Movements.

Each class simulates a real-life class. Through exercises and drills you will work on your body awareness and control. Being able to do the movements alone is essential to being able to do the movements with a partner, and will make you a better dance partner. It is also useful to know the movement for body the leader and the follower, independent of your preferred role in the dance. No equipment or partner is necessary!

Footwork & Turns
