AIMED AT Improver/Intermediate level dancers, the workshop will focus on fundamentals, connection and musicality.  As a minimum, you should be familiar with the Pure Bal basics, scoots, paddles, lollies, out & in, come around and basic throw-out.  (If you need a refresher before May, why not come along to our Monday night classes?)
