Improvers to Movers Workshop - Oct 2007

Lots of space to practice

Workshop Aims:

"The workshop aims to build on what you have learnt in the classes and to develop your lead or follow skills to make you confident to dance with anyone. The workshop is equally suitable for advanced followers who want to be able to lead in free-dancing. We will also give hints and tips on style and dance-craft to help you create a confident image as you take to the dancefloor. Together with a few cute new moves we will work on making the basic moves flow easily from one to another. "
