Mel will be covering the following concepts in a relaxed environment which will hopefully leave you inspired and confident to test your new skills on the social dance floor;

 

Spinning Techniques

Footwork Syncopations

Body Isolations

Confidence Building Techniques

 

The best bit is that we have the unique advantage of working in a mirrored studio so you will really be able to “see” how you’re progressing with the workshop tips and techniques! If you have attended before, great! You’ll get to practice the same techniques as before but within the context of new dance material so you won’t necessarily be repeating yourself!
