Repeating Classes

First repeat of a class - 25% off the regular price

Chances are the very dancers you admire repeated classes many a time. To get the most value out of class repetition follow these tips:
1st time - focus on foot patterns, rhythms and functionality
2nd time - focus on connection and improving your leading/following skills
3rd time - put the “cherry on top”! You will be comfortable with functionality and partnering, now is the time focus on styling, accenting and playing around with the character of the dance.
