Int/Adv Workshop: Getting To The Next Level
January 21, 2007 (10:00am to 1:00pm)
@ The Dance Family Studio (Pasadena)
This is a performance oriented workshop good for competition, performance, and boosting your social dancing up a notch. It is based on years of competition feedback (both self-analysis and from well-respected judges). And we have found this feedback useful not just for improving our competition dancing but also improving our social dancing as well. Even if you do not plan to compete, these are great tips for the int/adv dancer to take their dancing to the next level.
