Happy Monday dancers!

Today we have our recap video from our class on Friday.

Sasha and Ruaridh shared some 8-beat and 6-beat rotational moves, including some surprising directions and the classic pop turn. We looked at how to lead these moves considerately and how to actively follow! We covered some challenging concepts and techniques and it was wonderful to see our students rise to the challenge and tackle it head on - you should all be very proud of yourselves!
